Uganda’s 76-year-old President Yoweri Museveni has been in power since 1986 and was successfully re-elected for the sixth time on the 14th, moving towards 40 years in power. However, the Ugandan government not only cut off the internet before the election so that people could not use social platforms, but Museveni even placed his strong campaign opponent Bobi Wine under house arrest.
According to the BBC, Uganda’s election commission said that incumbent President Museveni received nearly 59 percent of the vote, while Wine received 35 percent. After his re-election success, Museveni noted that the Ugandan election was probably the most fraud-free election in Africa.
As a local pop star but decided to enter politics, Wayne, who has the support of a large number of young people, stressed that the recovery of the Internet will provide evidence of election rigging, in addition, Wayne also revealed that there are soldiers standing guard outside his home, not allowing him and his wife to leave or allow others to enter or leave, and local and international journalists are also unable to contact him.
The chairman of the election commission, Justice Byabakama (Simon Mugenyi Byabakama), refuted Wayne’s claims, saying that the voting process was quite peaceful and that if Wayne had evidence, he should just show it. However, there were riots in Uganda before the election that killed dozens of people, and opposition figures were harassed by the government.
