In his letter dated February 25, 2021,Mr Mayambala has written to court that he is interested in taking over and continuing with the petition which Mr Kyagulanyi had filed a withdrawal.
Mayambala also objects to the withdrawal of the same poll petition by Kyagulanyi’s legal team.

“I wish to re-affirm that I presidential candidate Willy Mayambala have great interest in the presidential petition going on and being listened to by the honorable court , please me the necessary permission to go on.”
