Can a presidential petition be amended after the expiry of statutory time?
In 2016, Mohamed Mbabazi, a veteran lawyer who was representing Mr Amama Mbabazi, then the petitioner challenging President Museveni’s victory, made an oral application.
He implored the nine Justices, Bart Katureebe, Jotham Tumwesigye, Esther Kitimbo Kisaakye, Stella Arach-Amoko, Rubby Aweri-Opio, Lilian Tibatemwa-Ekirikubinza, Augustine Nshimye, Eldad Mwangusya and Faith Mwondha to allow him amend the petition out of time.
