Summary
On Monday, National Unity Platform’s (NUP) Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, who came second in the January 14 presidential poll, filed in the Supreme Court a petition challenging President Museveni’s victory. Derrick Kiyonga and Joel Mukisa compare Mr Kyagulanyi’s petition with the failed 2016 petition which was filed by former prime minister Amama Mbabazi.
Use of civil servants
In his petition, Mr Mbabazi sought annulment of Mr Museveni’s election on grounds that he had used civil servants such as Jennifer Musisi, then executive director of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), and Ms Allen Kagina the executive director of Uganda National Roads Authority (Unra) when the President was campaigning in the western district of Kanungu, which he said is against the law.
