KAMPALA - Long-time leader Yoweri Museveni held a commanding lead in Uganda’s presidential election according to partial results on Saturday morning, with final results expected later in the day, although his main rival Bobi Wine alleged widespread fraud.

Security personnel and police were patrolling the capital, Kampala in large numbers on Saturday morning. Shops were open again after a two-day public holiday for the election. 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.

Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, said on Friday he had video proof of voting fraud, and would share the videos as soon as internet connections were restored. Wine and his supporters used Facebook to relay live coverage of his campaign events and news conferences after he said many media outlets had declined to host him.

He doesn't care who gets hurt on the way,the world is just watching

Now I believe what people are saying about chris_grey2 is true, Mr Chris you are indeed a man of your words, you have changed life’s including mine. Thanks chris_grey2 for your kindness I now have alot to pay off my debt I'll not stop trading with your company platform

I'm deeply disturbed by these articles Wine did just the same as Trump He said there was a widespread fraud after losing the election Yet, he's supported by the same people in Washington who called Trump a traitor So what's the difference? Wine is a Democrat, that's it

Sounds familiar, hum.🌹💙🎶

stop disrespecting your listeners and readers! for de sake of journalist ethics investigate, and if u can't investigate, don't report fakes. I attach investigators video following UgandaEC announcing Gulu district fake results; citizens were demanding source of stats

We already knew that, it can never be otherwise unless someone hits the forest too

Opposition is doing a Trump. Their supporters will also try to cause disruption with encouragement from their leaders.

This is the price we pay for allowing the results of a US Presidential election to be certified when half of Americans thought there was widespread fraud.

Nothing else but rigging of the vote has been the order right from District tally centre to EC tally centre forgetting the results of the first polling station

The suffer we go through as ugandan for elections we should stop participating in it once museveni still appears on the ballot paper because for us we cannot go to bush as he did in 1980 neither if we decide to go to courts they are nolonger courts of law but courts of regime☹️

These rigged elections in Africa such a farce. Outcomes decided long before Election Day.

Well, well, well... Who didn’t see this coming? I feel really sorry for people that contest against this man- he rigs elections and imprisons those who talk about it.

Democracy is dead.
