National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine has amended the election petition challenging the outcome of the just-concluded presidential race.
According to results released by the Electoral Commission, Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni, the incumbent and candidate of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party, a 58 per cent majority, against Kyagulanyi s score of 35 per cent in a race that attracted 11 candidates. But in the amended petition filed in the Supreme court, Kyagulanyi contends that as an incumbent, Museveni was ineligible to take part in the January 14, presidential election.
