{UAH} Supreme Court exempts Kyagulanyi from paying costs to Museveni

The Supreme Court has exempted the former presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu from paying costs to three respondents in the presidential election petition.

The respondents were; the president-elect and incumbent Yoweri Museveni, Electoral Commission and the Attorney General.

Kyagulanyi petitioned the Supreme Court to challenge the decision of the Electoral Commission chairperson Justice Simon Byabakama to announce Museveni as the winner of the January 14, elections.

He listed 26 grounds in his petition saying that the elections were marred with several irregularities such as bribery, ballot stuffing, and alteration of the declaration of results forms, arrests, violence leading to the death of dozens of people, arrests and intimidation of his supporters among others.

At the start of the petition hearing, Kyagulanyi first filed an application seeking to be given more time to amend his petition and introduce new grounds.
