The Supreme Court has set Thursday this week to hear former presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi’s application to withdraw the presidential election petition challenging Yoweri Museveni’s victory.
The hearing date was set after the withdrawal notice was published in the Uganda Gazette yesterday as required under Section 61 of the Presidential Elections Act.
Upon the publication, the court registrar sent out hearing notices to all the parties in the petition to appear.
The parties are President Museveni, Electoral Commission, Attorney General, Lukwago & Co. Advocates, KAA Advocates and K&K Advocates.
“Take notice that the hearing of this application has been fixed for March 4, 2021 at 9:30am. If no appearance is made by yourself, your pleader or by someone by law authorised to act for you, the hearing will proceed in your absence,” the hearing notice reads in part.
