Just a week after the Supreme Court began hearing Presidential Election Petition No. 1 of 2026, former presidential candidate Robert Kasibante has now applied to withdraw the case challenging President Museveni’s January 15 victory.

According to Daily Monitor, Kasibante informed court that the decision to withdraw stems largely from the financial and technical demands required to pursue the proposed electoral audit.
The petition had initially sought access to key electoral documents and the electronic voting, transmission and tallying systems.

This marks a dramatic turn in Uganda’s first 2026 presidential election petition.
