Former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago will remain on remand after the court postponed a decision on his bail application, extending his wait for a ruling on his request for temporary release.

During the court session, judicial officials indicated that circumstances surrounding the proceedings, together with legal issues raised by both sides, made it necessary to defer the ruling.

Instead of delivering the decision in open court, the judge directed that the outcome of the bail application be communicated to the parties via email within the next 24 hours.

Lukwago is expected to reappear before the court on June 30, 2026, when his case returns for mention.

The date is also significant because it coincides with proceedings involving a prominent opposition politician, in a matter where Lukwago is serving as lead defense counsel.

The postponement has generated considerable interest among supporters, legal observers, and members of the public who have been closely following the case.

Many are now awaiting the court’s determination on whether the veteran lawyer and politician will be granted bail as legal proceedings continue.

The latest development highlights the ongoing attention surrounding the case, which remains one of the most closely watched legal matters in the country.

With the bail decision expected soon, focus now shifts to the court’s next communication and the implications it may have for the future course of the proceedings.
