The National Unity Platform (NUP) has rejected the presidential election results announced by the Electoral Commission, saying the declaration lacked a legal basis and violated the law.
Speaking to media today, NUP Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya said the party “completely and totally” rejects the results declared by the EC Chairperson, accusing the Commission of announcing figures without presenting the mandatory Declaration of Results (DR) forms.
Rubongoya said the party’s presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, is alive and well and will soon address the nation.
NUP insists that the Electoral Commission failed to publish the DR forms and tally sheets that form the legal basis for declaring presidential election results. Rubongoya also criticized the conduct of the tallying process at the national tally centre, saying results were announced without explanation or supporting documentation. End
