Bobi Wine, a contender in the 2021 Ugandan election, has withdrawn a case challenging the poll outcome. According to Al Jazeera, Wine said he made the decision because he felt the courts are not independent. Last month, a Ugandan court ordered security forces to cease surrounding Wine's home, after being under house arrest. Troops had blocked the 38-year-old pop star-turned-politician from leaving his house in a suburb of the capital Kampala since he voted in the January 14 election where he ran against long-serving incumbent President Yoweri Museveni. He rejected the result, alleging fraud which the government denies.
