ANT confident independent court will annul Museveni election victory
February 2, 2021 Winnie Kiiza addressing the media
The opposition Alliance for National Transformation (ANT) party is positive that the Supreme court will overturn the January 14 election victory of President Yoweri following a petition filed by the National Unity Platform presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine.
Yesterday Monday, Kyagulanyi in his petition sought for the annulment of the presidential election in which Museveni was declared the winner by the Electoral Commission on grounds that the election was marred by several electoral irregularities.
Now, ANT national coordinator Winnie Kiiza says that they still trust the court to hear the merits of Kyagulanyi s case to either annul the election or declare Kyagulanyi as the rightfully elected president.

FDC

For the first time since elections were organised under the multiparty dispensation, the FDC party has lost its position as the biggest Opposition political party. They lost this time to the newly formed National Unity Platform (NUP) party.
