This week, Kyagulanyi also sought to amend his petition and introduced other grounds. He contends that as an incum-bent, Museveni was not supposed to take part in the January 14 presidential election.
“Contrary to Articles 102 (2) (b) and 219 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda as amended and S. 4 (b) of the Presidential Elections Act as amended, the 1st Respondent [Museveni] was not qualified for election as president while in the office of head of state, head of government, commander in chief and chairperson of the National Security Council,” Kyagulanyi contends.

He says Museveni abused the presidency by commanding or directing forces under his command, control and authority such as the Special Forces Command, Uganda People’s Defence Forces, Uganda Police Force, Internal Security Organisation, Resident District Commissioners, Local Defense Unit and Special Police Constables to brutalize, torture, maim and assault him, his agents and supporters; as well as interfere with the electoral process to his [Museveni] benefit.
