Winnie Matsiko is a female Ugandan politician and National Resistance Movement candidate for Rukungiri Woman Member of Parliament by-election in the 10th Parliament of Uganda.[1]

A total of six candidates who were nominated for the by-election included; FDC's Betty Muzanira, NRM's Winifred Matsiko, Fabith Kukundakwe of People's Progressive Party's and independent candidates Sheila Atukunda Kirebete, Seith Mbaguta and Elizabeth Rwakitonera.[1] In 2018, the Court of Appeal threw out Winnie Matsiko out of parliament after a successful challenge by FDC's Betty Muzanira.[2][3] 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.[2]
