Museveni Wins Seventh Term in Uganda Amid Opposition Pressure

After 40 years in power, 81-year-old Museveni secured his seventh term in Uganda's recent election, winning 71.65% of the vote. The election was marred by reports of at least 10 deaths, intimidation, and civil society concerns.

Opposition leader Bobi Wine, who won 24.72% of the vote, faced security threats and pressure, including multiple arrests. Museveni's victory extended his rule to 40 years, defeating Bobi Wine, a former singer turned politician.

The election saw heavy security presence in Kampala, with reports of raids and restrictions on opposition leaders.
