Canon Muwanguzi says the Electoral College has already come up with the two names which they are going to submit to the Chancellor of West Buganda Diocese before they are presented to the House of Bishops for a final decision to be made on June 1, 2016. The concentration of the new Bishop is planned for August 28.
The synod will now sit in October to start the process of choosing a new bishop to replace Godfrey Makumbi. The synod was not complete after election of some members was contested.
Bishop Makumbi lost the battle to throat cancer on Sunday at the Uganda Cancer Institute in Mulago, where he had been admitted for close to two weeks. His remains arrived at his home in Kako last evening.
