Uganda Election Wahala: Bobi Wine Cries Vote Theft, Says Soldiers Lock Him Inside House After Voting Ugandan opposition leader and presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine), has accused the military of placing him under house arrest shortly after he voted in the presidential election. In a statement on X, he said armed soldiers surrounded his home, jumped his fence and blocked all movement in and out of his compound. Bobi Wine claimed the action was meant to suppress public anger over alleged vote rigging, describing it as fear by authorities after “stealing the people’s votes.” He added that the siege remains in place, calling it another attack on democracy. #UgandaElection #BobiWine #AfricanPolitics

Ugandan President’s Aide Says Museveni Will Win Election, Son to Succeed Him A senior aide to Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni, Yiga Wamala, has sparked outrage after claiming the 81-year-old leader cannot lose the upcoming election. In a viral video, Wamala said voters should “vote and go home,” insisting ballots will be counted by machines, not citizens or party agents. He dismissed any chance of opposition victory, declaring Museveni will remain in power and warning people not to “waste” their votes. Wamala also suggested that Museveni’s son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, is being positioned to eventually succeed his father, fuelling fears of entrenched rule. #UgandaElection #Museveni #AfricanPolitics
