Winnie Matsiko

Masiko Winifred Komuhangi, also spelt as Winfred Matsiko Komuhangi or Winnie Matsiko, is a Ugandan politician. She was the National Resistance Movement political party representative of Rukungiri District in the eighth, ninth and tenth Parliament of Uganda.

Controversy In 2002, Masiko Winifred Komuhangi and Babihuga J. Winnie were involved in a court case regarding the Standard of Proof in Electoral Offense. During Uganda's seventh Parliament, Komuhangi, the Rukungiri Member of Parliament, lost her seat following an election petition filed by her predecessor, Winifred Babihuga. The court nullified her election.

On July 9, Masiko petitioned the High Court to nullify Betty Bamukwatsa Muzanira's victory, alleging electoral irregularities. Masiko sought a fresh election. Independent candidate and former cabinet minister Sezi Prisca Mbaguta secured 993 votes, and the Progressive People’s Party’s Kakundakwe Fabith received 183. The court found that Matsiko bribed voters by contributing money to different churches during campaigns. The court also faulted the Electoral Commission for failure to adhere to electoral laws relating to tallying of results before it declared Matsiko winner.
