President Yoweri Museveni has filed his response to the Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine’s Presidential Petition on Saturday afternoon at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museveni filed his defense through his lawyers Kiryowa Karugire and Byenkya, Kihika Company Advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Monday, Bobi Wine filed the petition at the country\u2019s highest court to challenge the re-election of\u00a0Yoweri Museveni<\/a>\u00a0in last month\u2019s polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, wants the supreme court in the capital, Kampala, to nullify the victory of Museveni in the 14 January poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we want from the court is nullification of that election where Museveni was declared. We do not want him to participate in elections in\u00a0Uganda<\/a>\u00a0again because he is an agent of violence,\u201d said Medard Ssegona, the lead lawyer acting on behalf of Wine and his National Unity Platform party (NUP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll elections he has participated in have been violent elections. He is a common denominator in the electoral violence of this country. We don\u2019t want him to participate again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, the Supreme Court will hear the \u00a0presidential election petition against Yoweri Museveni in a hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reports add that due to the Covid-19 pandemic in the country, the courtroom at the Kololo-based Supreme Court is small and would compromise the health of the judges and the parties in the petition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to sources, two hotels, Mestil in Kampala and Commonwealth Resort Munyonyo are being considered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
