Former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, president of the People’s Front for Freedom, remains in custody after his bail application was deferred by Makindye Chief Magistrate’s Court. Lukwago faces charges of misprision of treason and had requested temporary release pending trial. Chief Magistrate Sarah Basemera indicated the bail ruling will be delivered electronically at a later date, without specifying a timeframe. The postponement means Lukwago will remain remanded, continuing his detention. The case has drawn attention as Lukwago is a prominent figure in Uganda’s opposition movement. Further details regarding the electronic delivery of the ruling are pending. The decision was made during a court hearing today.
