Museveni Claims Victory Amidst Fraud Allegations in Uganda Election

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, in power since 1986, claims victory in the recent election, facing criticism from main rival Bobi Wine over alleged fraud and violence. The election saw internet blackouts, arrests, and deaths, with Wine's supporters targeted.

Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan criticized the election process, urging the government to restore internet access. Museveni's win solidifies his long rule, while opposition voices decry the lack of a level playing field.

The African Union noted no evidence of ballot stuffing but highlighted concerns over intimidation and arrests, emphasizing the need for transparency.
