The former rejected the poll results and petitioned Mbale High Court accusing his nemesis of electoral malpractices, which denied him victory.
He also cited discrepancies in the names on the academic documents of his rival, saying that he did not swear a poll deed before his nomination.
Mr Watila claimed that the ‘O’-Level certificate presented by his rival shows that he is David Wakikona Wanendeya while the ‘A-level certificate reads Wakikona Wanendeya David.
He also said that his certificate from Soroti flying school carries Wakikona D. Wanendeya while his advanced flying certificate reads Wakikona David.
But Wakikona’s lawyers of Tumusiime Kabega and Co. Advocates told the court that the affidavits that accompanied the petition were incurably defective since they were prepared by a commissioner of oaths who never had a valid practising certificate.
