Speaking to this publication yesterday, the registrar of the Supreme Court, Ms Harriet Ssali Nalukwago, said: “Under the law, he [Mayambala] was supposed to appear during the proceedings of the formal withdrawal and he didn’t show up. With barely three days to the lapse of the 45 days in which a presidential petition is supposed to be decided, he has no chance now and he didn’t inform us why,” Ms Nalukwago said by telephone.
The constitutional 45-day deadline for filing and disposal of the presidential poll petition elapse on Thursday this week.
