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.”
