In a majority ruling of 8:1, justices of the Supreme court have declined to allow an application by former presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu to file more evidence to support his petition challenging President Museveni’s victory in last month’s presidential election.
In a short ruling read by justice Percy Night Tuhaise, the Supreme court did not give any reasons for its ruling.
“We have given due consideration to the application and submission of counsel for the applicant and for the respondent, by a majority of 8:1 this court disallows this application. Costs shall be in the cause. Detailed reasons for the ruling will be contained in the detailed judgment,” Tuhaise said.
