At a media briefing at the Supreme Court in Kampala, Chief Registrar Agnes Alum said the Judiciary was preparing to hear 118 petitions challenging results of the 2026 parliamentary and local government elections, with hearing schedules to follow. She declined to say whether funds for the hearings had been released, and said the Judiciary would look into complaints by journalists that they had been barred from politically sensitive proceedings.
