 Uganda's Museveni wins presidential election by landslide to extend 40-year rule


Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni won a seventh term in office on Saturday after an election marred by an internet shutdown.


Museveni, 81, won 71.65 percent of the vote in Thursday's election, the Electoral Commission said.


His ruling party, the National Resistance Movement, also had a commanding lead in parliamentary seats, according to provisional results. Ballots were still being counted.


His victory allows him to extend his 40-year rule of the East African country.


He defeated Bobi Wine, 43, a former singer-turned-politician who won 24.72 percent and said he was in hiding on Saturday after a raid by security forces on his home.


Opponent on the run


He stated his "complete rejection of the fake results" and said he was on the run after the raid on his home on Friday night.


"I want to confirm that I managed to escape from them," Wine posted on X on Saturday. Currently, I am not at home, although my wife and other family members remain under house arrest.


"I know that these criminals are looking for me everywhere and I am trying my best to keep safe," he added.


There was a heavy police presence around the capital, Kampala, AFP reports.


Police denied they had raided Wine's home but said they had "controlled access in areas we feel are security hotspots", adding they believed the opposition leader was still at home.


"We have not necessarily denied people accessing him but we cannot tolerate instances where people use his residence to gather and... incite violence," police spokesman Kituuma Rusoke told reporters.


Poll-related violence


There were reports of election-related violence against the opposition.


Muwanga Kivumbi, member of parliament for Wine's party in the Butambala area of central Uganda, told AFP's Nairobi office by phone that security forces had killed 10 of his campaign agents after storming his home.
