Dissatisfied members of the National Unity Platform -NUP party are meeting the press on Tuesday at the party headquarters in Kamwokya to communicate a way forward following a series of failures in the past few days.
NUP president Robert Kyagulanyi alongside other party members will be communicating to the media their way forward.
On Monday,36 of their supporters remanded at Kitalya and Kigo prisons for being in possession of ammunition were denied bail by the court-martial on grounds that they were a threat to security and could instigate violent riots if released.
One of the lawyers representing them Musisi George announced that their next course of action could be to petition the high court since it has jurisdiction over civilian matters.
Also on Monday, the NUP legal counsel representing NUP presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, in the election petition at the supreme court filed another 130 affidavits to the court that were rejected on grounds that the deadline had passed.
The Supreme Court has so far received 53 affidavits from NUP’s Kyagulanyi, filed as evidence challenging President Yoweri Museveni’s January 14th election victory.
This is the last evidence that the petitioner was expected to be presented in court after the deadline given by the supreme court to file evidence ended on the 14th Feb.
The affidavits are filed by the former Presidential candidate Joseph Kabuleta, Jinja East Constituency MP Paul Mwiru, Mityana Municipality MP Francis Zaake and Gerald Karuhanga the MP Ntungamo Municipality among others.
In addition to that NUP is also dealing with incidents of their members and supporters being kidnapped and reported missing, while others later show up with visible scars of torture.
Recently, a disturbing picture of a badly injured boy being visited by the NUP strongman Kyagulanyi circulated the social media airwaves with reports that he was attacked, kidnapped, and beaten to a pulp by security forces.
The man who claimed he was Ssegawaa also alleged he was dumped at Mulago national referral hospital almost unconscious with torture wounds all over his body.
However, the Police mouthpiece, Fred Enanga, in a statement on Wednesday, last week dismissed this story as fake, and false propaganda by the NUP to create negativity.
“The gruesome photo of a tortured male, identified as Ronald Segawa, that showed him with random body injuries including an open fractured wound on the hand, that has since gone viral, with the claim that the victim was tortured by security agencies, is fake news and a negative propaganda tactic, by opposition groups and its sponsored network of bloggers,” Enanga said.
