In a 25 th February letter to the Supreme Court, Mayambala objected to Kyagulanyi’s decision to withdraw the petition challenging the victory of NRM’s Yoweri Museveni in 14 th January general elections. He asked court for permission to take over the same petition upon guidance on the necessary procedures. Section 61(2) of the Presidential Election Act provides that on hearing of the application for withdraw, any candidate who might have been a petitioner in respect of the election to which the petitioner refers, may apply to the court to be substituted as a petitioner for the petitioner who desires to withdraw.
