The National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential flag bearer Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine will not be able to show up at the Electoral Commission (EC) offices today, according to party spokesperson Joel Ssenyonyi.
Last week, EC summoned Bobi Wine and Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) presidential flag bearer Patrick Amuriat Oboi for alleged persistent breach of the electoral guidelines and standard operating procedures to control the spread of Coronavirus. They are supposed to appear before the commission today Monday 14/12/2020.
The EC chairperson, Justice Simon Byabakama accuses Bobi Wine and Amuriat of ignoring the Covid-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) by holding processions and mass rallies thus putting the lives of Ugandans at risk o the spread of Coronavirus.
However, Ssenyonyi says Bobi Wine is in Karamoja and coming back to Kampala will ‘eat’ a lot of time, yet they have lost time.
“We will represent him,” Ssenyonyi told NBS TV on Monday.
“I don’t know why EC has not invited candidate Tibuhaburwa. All candidates have fallen short as far as Covid-19 guidelines are concerned,” he added.
