Mpiima Dorothy Christine (born 22 July 1959) is a Ugandan Member of Parliament who served in the ninth Parliament of Uganda.[1] She was the National Resistance Movement political party representative of Buikwe District.[1]

Politics

In the ninth parliament, she was the member of parliament for Buikwe District.[2][3][4] Christine Kasule Mugerwa filed an election petition against Mpiima Dorothy questioning her academic qualifications and for trading lies throughout her campaigns and bribing voters.[5] When Kasule failed to show up for three times, the petition was dismissed by the former presiding judge, Justice Monica Mugenyi.[6] However, the petition dismissed was later reinstated by the High Court in Jinja.[6]

In 2016, she lost her seat to the tenth Parliament to Judith Babirye.[7] She was a diploma holder teacher before joining the Parliament.[8] Christine was among the nominated National Resistance Movement Candidates in 2020 Primaries on the Electoral Commission released list.[9]
