Kampala – Justice Simon Byabakama, the chairman of the Electoral Commission has challenged former presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi not to mislead Ugandans by parading results which he failed to table before the Supreme Court.
His comments come a day after Kyagulanyi called for peaceful demonstrations to oppose the results released by the Electoral Commission, declaring Yoweri Museveni the winner of the January 14, presidential election.
But Justice Byabakama questioned why Kyagulanyi failed to present the same result forms before the Supreme Court early enough yet the documents were allegedly held by his agents immediately after the closure of polls at every polling station.
He also cautioned Kyagulanyi against inciting the Ugandan population to take matters into their hands, after the withdrawal of a petition which had earlier been filed to challenge the outcome of the polls.
Justice Byabakama told journalists that he wonders whether it was only Kyagulanyi in possession of the said DR forms for him to attribute their late presentation before the court on his restricted movement by security agencies after the polls.
