Luweero High Court strikes out handwriting expert's affidavit in Nakaseke Central election petition

According to the Daily Monitor, Justice Samuel Emokor of the High Court in Luweero removed from the record the affidavit of a handwriting expert called by petitioner Allan Mayanja, because she did not appear for cross-examination. Mayanja's lawyers told court their request to the Inspector General of Police for her to testify was not granted. During the same hearing, the petitioner's counsel cited differences between the Electoral Commission register and certified Declaration of Results forms at several polling stations, as part of a challenge to results from 31 of 95 polling stations.
