“On 31 March 2016, the Supreme Court, within the one-month constitutional deadline, issued the ruling. The court unanimously dismissed the petition and declared the first respondent, President Yoweri Museveni, validly elected. The court, while admitting that there was non-compliance with the electoral laws during the conduct of the presidential election, also stated that there was no evidence that the non-compliance affected the results in a substantial manner.”

Comment

Elections were held on 18 February and certified results for Presidential Elections were announced by the Supreme Court on 31 March. There is no data for Parliamentary Elections.
