Long-term leader Yoweri Museveni was declared the winner of a January 14 presidential election, securing 58.6 per cent of the vote and a sixth term after 35 years in power. “The internet has been restored. Other platforms are still under review,” Ofwono Opondo, the spokesman, told AFP. NetBlocks, a non-government organisation that tracks internet shutdowns, said network data showed a rise in connectivity in Uganda to 37 per cent after all but core infrastructure, regulatory and government networks were switched off.
Uganda police spokesman Fred Enanga said 55 people had been arrested over the election period for “violent acts” including blocking highways and damaging property. At least 54 people were shot dead in November over two days of street protests over Wine’s arrest, and the opposition leader was repeatedly detained and his rallies broken up with tear gas and live rounds.
