Museveni’s lawyers punch holes in Mbabazi’s submission to the EC

President Museveni’s lawyers have punched holes  in Hon Amama Mbabazi’s submission to the  Electoral Commission seeking the cancellation  of the NRM party leaders nomination , saying the exercise is yet to pass.

Hussein Rugaba Kashillingi, one of the president’s  lawyers, said in a brief statement on thursday  that “this hullabaloo by Amama Mbabazi Mbabaz acting through his lawyers is without legal  basis because nominations by the ElectoralCommission haven’t taken place.” Mbabazi’srepresentatives led by Fred Muwema and Severino  Twinobusingye said in a letter to EC on Wednesday  that, “NRM has not yet elected its presidential  flag-bearer for the 2016 presidential  elections,” adding, “It is therefore goes  without saying that NRM could not have legally  collected nomination papers, let alone soliciting  for signatures to support a non-existing flag  bearer.”
