Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has raised concern over the growing number of petitions in the Constitutional Court that seek to overturn the opposition candidates’ victory in the just-concluded elections.
While addressing journalists yesterday at the party headquarters in Najjanakumbi, the FDC party deputy secretary-general Herold Kaija said that most of the petitions are sponsored by the National Resistance Movement.
Kaija said that the public should not be surprised when all the petitions turn out in favor of the NRM.
Speaking to the press in a phone interview, Emmanuel Dombo who is the director of information and publicity in the NRM said that FDC’s claims are baseless.
Yesterday, the Criminal Investigations Division spokesperson Charles Twine said that they had kicked off investigations into alleged use of forged academic documents by several politicians to stand for political offices.
