KAMPALA - Long-time leader Yoweri Museveni was heading for a resounding win in Uganda’s presidential election with nearly all votes counted on Saturday, although his main rival Bobi Wine alleged widespread fraud.
Security personnel and police were out in force patrolling the capital, Kampala, on Saturday. The government ordered the internet shut down the day before the election, and the blackout was still in place. Security forces had sealed off a wide perimeter around Wine’s sprawling compound on Saturday and told international journalists they were not permitted to enter, witnesses said.
Electoral Commission Chairman Simon Byabakama said on Friday that under Ugandan law, the burden of proof rested with Wine.The United States and the European Union did not deploy observer teams, but the U.S. State Department’s top diplomat for Africa, Tibor Nagy, said in a tweet early on Saturday that the “electoral process has been fundamentally flawed”.
Police recorded 42 election-related offences nationwide during voting and tallying so far, police spokesman Fred Enanga said on Friday night on local NBS TV. Offences included assaults, voter bribery, and theft and damage of electoral materials, he said.

Fromagehomme Museveni has no credibility whatsoever. The the events before the election indicated that it would not be free and fair.
Fromagehomme Congratulations President elect Bobi WineFree Bobi Wine!!
It’s a domino effect!!
I didn’t realise that Uganda was the 51st state.
First world problems, am I right? Lol.
President for 35 years and still wants to remain in power. 2021 and Africa still has dictators. It’s sad and pathetic. As bad as it is in the United States right now, we got nothing on countries like Uganda.
Dominion? 😂😂
Sounds like something Trump would do?
HEBobiwine won the election were waiting for internet to be back to show evidence.
Democracy?
They have also detained him on multiple occasions. Really sad, he seems like a good guy in a very corrupt country
