Kampala: Finally the Supreme Court in Kampala has given green lights to the National Unity Platform former presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi, also popularly known as Bobi Wine after allowing him to withdraw the petition he had filed challenging the 2021 elections against President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
This has been reached on after Kyagulanyi convinced court that he was not bribed to withdraw the case citing that court has not put in place grounds favorable for his petition to succeed hence wastage of time to resume with the case.
Finally, today Friday, after listening from lawyers from both sides, the panel of nine justices accepted that it was right for the petition to be withdrawn.
