Poll loser challenges Museveni re-election
[The Nation (Nairobi)] A Ugandan opposition leader has challenged the re-election of President Yoweri Museveni in a Supreme Court petition, but the appeal may be deemed invalid, a judiciary front man said on Friday.

"Just yesterday, one of the candidates filed some papers," the front man, Elias Kisawuzi, told journalists, identifying the plaintiff as Norbert Mao.

By law, candidates in the February 18 elections had 10 days to challenge the results, which gave Museveni a 68 per cent win. Democratic Party candidate Mao filed his petition late.
