Balikuddembe has withdrawn the petition citing a lack of enough evidence to sustain the petition. According to Balikuddembe, his petition was frustrated by a court ruling that denied him permission to submit additional evidence to support his complaints.

The two approved Court of Appeal judges are the former Deputy Solicitor General, Christopher Gashirabake and Jinja Resident Judge, Eva Luswata.

In her ruling, Justice Nabisinde granted leave Nassolo to file the additional affidavits. He explained that he could not reject the affidavits whose contents they didn’t know.

While meeting different parties on Monday at the High Court ahead of the scheduling of the petitions for hearing, Wamala said there is still room for all the parties to seek out of court settlement.

“Mukalazi Peter holds out as Nsubuga Paul and was elected as a member of parliament for Busiro County North,”, the police report concludes.

Auma’s lawyer Paul Idambi told the court that the people who swore affidavits are not voters and that the signatures attached to their names are forged.

Justice Mukwaya rejected the witnesses after Nantaba’s Lawyer Ambrose Tibyasa cross-examined Nakwede. Nakwede told the court that all the witnesses and supplementary affidavits presented lacked credible evidence to support her claims in the petition.
