DP’s Mbabaali Arrested Over City Protest

Kampala Police have Tuesday arrested Democratic Party (DP) top shot Jude Mbabaali for holding an illegal assembly in the city against judges of the Court of Appeal, accusing them of bias.
Mbabaali told Chimpreports.com that he wants two judges Remmy Kasule and Justice Kavuma dropped from the Coram hearing his court petition in which he is challenging the election of Vice President Edward Ssekandi.
Mbabaali lost the 2011 Bukoto Central MP election to Ssekandi.
He later petitioned High Court to nullify Ssekandi’s election, citing electoral malpractices that included rigging, ballot stuffing and intimidation of voters.
Mbabaali lost the case before taking the matter to the Court of Appeal.
He now says Justice Kasule is closely related to Ssekandi while Kavuma runs a joint business with the Vice President in Rubaga, Kampala, and can’t therefore dispense justice in this particular case.
This website could not authenticate Mbabaali’s claims.
As we write this, Mbabaali has been detained at Kampala Central Police Station where he is being interrogated by detectives.
