The IPC vehemently rejected their reappointment. The Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that the current EC was incompetent to preside over the country’s general elections.
Dr Besigye is no stranger to altercations with the security services. He has had as many run-ins with the State before he fled into self-imposed exile shortly after the disputed 2001 elections in which he unsuccessfully attempted to unseat President Museveni. The story has largely not changed since his return in 2005, including a rape charge that was dismissed by court.
