President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni of the National Resistance Movement has been declared winner of the January 14 Presidential Election in Uganda.

The 76-year-old was declared winner of the polls after defeating ten other candidates including major challenger, Bobi Wine of the National Unity Platform.

With the declaration, Museveni is set to be sworn in on May 12 for his sixth term, which expires in 2026.

But his main challenger, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, 38 has rejected the results citing widespread voter fraud and heavy crackdown on his supporters, and further declaring himself as "President-Elect".

BREAKING: EC declares Yoweri Kaguta Museveni winner of the Presidential elections with 5,851,037, 58.64% of the total votes

Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) came second with 3,475,298, 34.83% of the total votes.

Take heart bobby wine, you gave the old man a run for his money

With the declaration, Museveni is set to be sworn in on May 12 for his sixth term, which expires in 2026.

Wish all African Leaders can be like our darling Daddy.
After his 8 years of development in Nigeria, he will retire jejely to Daura.
The same man politicians in many African countries used his pictures on their poster to campaign, just as it happened in Naija here.
Some grass root politicians and heavyweight alike used Daddy's pictures on their poster just to win their elections all over the country.
That is what integrity and a good name can get you...

fredoooooo:

He's not perfect but still the best ..GOD bless Nigeria, God bless Buhari

You have a very good point here Chief Fredoooooo

Africa as a whole makes me angry sometimes

This continent is ass

lol

AU is the most useless organization in the world

Its clear Bobi Wine won the Ugandan Elections but Uganda and Nigeria still has issues with serious rigging.. People came out en-masse to vote out Museveni.

Well, now before you bash Museveni and congratulate Bobi Wine for being a young youth b.1990) who came out to contest and free Uganda from Old men;

Remember you are have a duty to vote a young person in 2023. These Old men have nothing, absolutely Nothing to offer

2023 is around the corner and some people are still shouting Zulum, Umahi Just imagine.


Africa should wake up and massively support youths for political office. Youths often come up with ideas totally alien to these old men. They are full of Energy to turn things around.

Sowore may contest (I am not saying he is a youth) but he is 10000% better than all these old men around. Free religion, tribe and Buhari Zombies and vote for a TOTALLY NEW PERSON all together in 2023.

Africa is rising with

Bobi Wine of Uganda,
Julius Malema of South Africa,
Sowore of Nigeria (there are others o)

Who have sworn to expose Old corrupt African leaders who want to remain in power with nothing to offer. Don't be mumu in 2023 With APC and PDP stuff. Youre smarter than that

na who curse Africa sef... 6th term? Shuu

I agreed that every nation has its problem. But something is fundamentally wrong with the black man in Africa

I wish I can talk to an angel and explain to me

Research as to be done on black man strictly by black researchers themselves

.

Igbo people self

I feel bad for bobi wine but I love his spirit

Why is Africa like this?

Elected the 6th time that will run for another 5years! What kind of Constitution do they run over there?

Meanwhile, his closest opponent is just 38, and the populace didn't vote enmass to allow a young blood run this country.

How interesting would it be if Ugandan breaks the record of having the first young president in Africa,..smh

Before nko
Nor be Africa we dey.. person when don dey rule for 38 years, na till death do us part things be him mentality o.

I just hope there won't be any post elections violence because the people would be the ones suffering.

6th term oboi
Buhari dey learn wie Museveni dey

Las last the sad truth be say the plp of uganda continues the suffering for anoda 4 years
Cox this Mugabe's junior gats nothing to offer!

shigo20:
bro its another 5 years of suffering. and the useless organization called African Union won't do anything about it.. am so sad right now

Thumbs up my gee.... while we operate 4 years per term some nation go with 5 or 6
Incase of Uganda it's 5....5 years of suffering and more injustice

Who did this to Africa

Na die dere the man dey o....

President Muhammadu Buhari should follow suit, zombies said he is the best thing after slice bread, when he is done he should pass the baton to Yusuf Buhari "the power bike merchant"

Na there u wan die?

It's finished

from i no gree to street fight. The 6th time! as if you are the only one that can do the job. some politicians be wishing they can do same in Nigeria

Damn. Sad times

After reading views and opinions from other Africans on Quora, I can categorically tell you that from Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Lesotho and so on

Our continent is already a toast to recycled, tiring and wasted hands at the elm of affairs.


If you ask me, I'd say I wasn't surprised one bit..

Ugandans need to come out en masse and protest

Africa

African Union failed Uganda!

Shame

You cannot eject a dictator without the supports of external forces outside the country

Africa is indeed a dark continent
