- Brief
  
  The court examined the reports submitted to it by the WZO management.
  In all federations, election committees were established to manage the process. In two of them, special election committees were appointed by the Central Elections Committee.
  
  In most federations, a voter register was prepared as required. In those that were not, a request for exception was submitted for reasons presented to the court.
  The court granted this time but made it clear that in the future it would not approve such exceptions.
  
  The court found that the results met the requirements for representation for women and young adults.
  Therefore, the court approved the results. This is subject to the outcome of a pending petition by the Ugandan Federation regarding the composition of its delegates and the election results.
