The Supreme Court last week allowed Kyagulanyi’s application to withdraw his presidential election petition challenging President Yoweri Museveni’s victory.
Kyagulanyi accused the court of bias after it disallowed his two applications where he sought to file more grounds and affidavits (evidence) beyond the Court’s stipulated timeline.
“This means as a commission, we don’t have any challenge to the outcome of what we did. And secondary, it means the outcome should be accepted by everyone as to what indeed transpired,” Byabakama said.

In related news; Bobi Wine upon withdrawing his election petition called on Ugandans to rise up in peaceful protests against what he called “regime oppression”.
The 39-year-old was speaking beside a table piled high with files. He claimed these files contained results forms from individual polling stations. He said based on these results, he was the real winner with 54 percent of the vote. Newslex Point has not yet been able to verify the evidence he presented.
However, police and the army met his call with heavy deployment across the cities and major towns in the country. Security Authorities said they will not tolerate any form of misconduct from anyone. They cautioned the public against listening to leaders who mislead people.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
