National Unity Platform (NUP) party leader Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, will in the coming days reach a decision on whether to go all the way with the petition he filed before the Supreme Court challenging President Museveni’s re-election on January 14 or to withdraw it from court, Sunday Monitor has learnt.
The filing of the petition has been a matter of controversy within Mr Kyagulanyi’s camp, and the Opposition leader hinted this week that he could withdraw it if Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo and two other Justices of the Supreme Court do not recuse themselves from hearing the matter.

Former presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, has asked the Supreme Court to give him extra time to file additional affidavits in support of his petition challenging the victory of Yoweri Museveni in the January 14 elections.
In the application filed last evening, Mr Kyagulanyi, the leader of National Unity Platform (NUP) party, reasoned that the additional affidavits are necessary in the petition to enable the court effectively inquire into and determine all questions involved in the matter.
