President Yoweri Museveni has secured another five-year term, extending his four-decade rule over Uganda with a landslide victory. The announcement was made under heavy military presence, as security forces have been deployed across the country amid ongoing protests and a violent crackdown on opposition supporters. Bobi Wine's lawyer, Benjamin Katana, denounced the election as fraudulent and refused to certify the results, citing a significant drop in Wine's vote share compared to the previous election. Despite official celebrations by the ruling party, many Ugandans remain skeptical, with internet shutdowns and restrictions on freedom of expression casting a shadow over the electoral process.
