KAMPALA - Opposition leader Bobi Wine said on Monday he was dropping a legal challenge to Uganda’s presidential election results that handed victory to incumbent Yoweri Museveni, saying Supreme Court justices hearing the case were biased.
Wine, 39, a pop star and lawmaker whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, has rejected the results and said he believed victory was stolen from him. He asked the court to overturn the results on several grounds including widespread use of violence. As proof, he cited the court’s decision to reject an application he had made to file additional evidence he said showed pre-ticking of ballots, false tallies of ballots, impossibly high voter turnout and other irregularities.
Solomon Muyita, a judiciary spokesman, told Reuters judicial authorities would only respond to Wine’s accusations and decision to withdraw the case when he had formally quit the case through his lawyers.“Right now what he has done is, he has only made a political statement. As far as the records of the Supreme Court are the case is still there,” he said.However, a crackdown by security forces on his supporters over the past few months has left dozens dead and hundreds detained.
