Case summary

The court held that the constitution must be read as a whole and as an ambulatory instrument for the good governance, liberties, welfare and protection of all persons in Uganda. That s 60 has to be interpreted strictly and the route taken by the respondent could not be supported as the petition was filed out of time. That it is only after there has been compliance with s 60 of the Parliamentary Elections Act that any petitioner can carry out what is required by s 86.
