The National Unity Platform (NUP) president, Mr Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu (left) Friday said he was still pondering on whether to head to the Supreme Court to challenge the outcome of the 2021 presidential election which saw Mr Yoweri Museveni (right) declared winner.
Summary
For now, Mr Kyagulanyi who is currently confined to his home in Magere, Wakiso District by a joint military and Police force, has nine days to file his petition in the Supreme Court.
Another lawyer who has litigated in all levels of courts of judicature and sometimes won and other times lost, Male Mabirizi Kiwanuka said although he agrees that the appointment of judges sometime hinders their capacity to execute their duties without bias, he nevertheless believes that they have the capacity to annul an election.
