Uganda's Museveni Wins 2026 Election Amidst Controversy

President Yoweri Museveni, 81, secured victory in Uganda's 2026 presidential election, continuing his long-standing rule amid a closely contested election marked by an internet blackout. The Electoral Commission announced Museveni's win with 7.9 million votes, surpassing the required threshold.

Opposition leader Bobi Wine, a former singer turned politician, won 24.72% but faced security raids and political pressure. The election had a 52.50% voter turnout among registered voters.
