Uganda’s musician turned politician Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has lamented that the country’s Supreme Court is biased against him after the court rejected a poll petition he submitted.
Uganda’s Supreme Court said Wine didn’t meet the February 14 deadline to submit an additional 120 affidavits. The court rejected the documents on that ground on Tuesday.
Bobi Wine later addressed his supporters at his party office in Kampala threatening to withdraw the case if such frustrations persist.
“We have been collecting evidence and more is still coming in but the Supreme Court has rejected 250 affidavits we filed yesterday (February 15) much as hearing of the petition hasn’t started. We want to put the Supreme Court on notice that if this persists, we are not going to be part of that mockery, the next step is to take the matter to the public court,” Mr. Kyagulanyi said.
