Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Judiciary has rejected former presidential candidate Willy Mayambala\u2019s petition to inherit the petition abandoned by Mr Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, challenging the victory of Yoweri Museveni, barely two days to the deadline.<\/p>\n

Speaking to this publication yesterday, the registrar of the Supreme Court, Ms Harriet Ssali Nalukwago, said: \u201cUnder the law, he [Mayambala] was supposed to appear during the proceedings of the formal withdrawal and he didn\u2019t show up. With barely three days to the lapse of the 45 days in which a presidential petition is supposed to be decided, he has no chance now and he didn\u2019t inform us why,\u201d Ms Nalukwago said by telephone.<\/p>\n

The constitutional 45-day deadline for filing and disposal of the presidential poll petition elapse on Thursday this week.When contacted yesterday, Mr Mayambala downplayed the short time left on his side. \u201cIt\u2019s not over until it\u2019s over. So many issues are still holding me, but I will tell you once I am done with them on what next,\u201d Mr Mayambala said.When asked whether he had hired a lawyer as directed by court, Mr Mayambala said he was holding talks with some lawyers, adding that many had feared to take up the petition.<\/p>\n

In his national address on Sunday night, Mr Museveni said the petition was a concluded issue. \u201cThe court case is now finished, I couldn\u2019t comment about it because it was still in court. It had been taken there by Hon Robert Kyagulanyi, saying NRM had cheated. On the contrary, it\u2019s the Opposition, especially this group of Kyagulanyi which cheated massively,\u201d Mr Museveni said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
