Uganda’s musician turned politician Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has lamented that the country’s Supreme Court is biased against him after the court rejected a poll petition he submitted.
Uganda’s Supreme Court said Wine didn’t meet the February 14 deadline to submit an additional 120 affidavits. The court rejected the documents on that ground on Tuesday.
Bobi Wine later addressed his supporters at his party office in Kampala threatening to withdraw the case if such frustrations persist.
“We have been collecting evidence and more is still coming in but the Supreme Court has rejected 250 affidavits we filed yesterday (February 15) much as hearing of the petition hasn’t started. We want to put the Supreme Court on notice that if this persists, we are not going to be part of that mockery, the next step is to take the matter to the public court,” Mr. Kyagulanyi said.

Georgia’s Prime Minister, Giorgi Gakharia, has resigned from his position on Thursday.
The former PM said it was necessary to vacate his seat because he is not in support of the authority arresting a top opposition leader as it could escalate a political crisis in the ex-Soviet nation.
Gakharia said he was stepping down because of disagreement in the government over enforcing a court order to arrest Chairman of United National Movement, Nika Melia, saying to do so would “pose a risk to the health and lives of our citizens and increase political polarisation in the country.”
The court ruling came amid a political crisis in Georgia that followed parliamentary elections in October that independent monitors say were marred by irregularities. All the opposition parties are boycotting parliament, refusing to assume their mandates.
