Video Sparks Outrage as Bobi Wine Alleges Ballot Rigging in Uganda Election Won by Museveni

Fresh controversy has erupted in Uganda’s election after a viral video allegedly showed electoral officials pre-ticking ballot papers in favour of long-time president Yoweri Museveni at a polling station in western Uganda. Opposition leader Bobi Wine shared the footage, accusing the system of blatant rigging, arrests and abductions of opposition agents, and heavy security deployment to suppress votes.

Bobi Wine urged Ugandans to keep documenting evidence, describing the process as a “protest vote” and calling on citizens to reclaim their voices amid growing anger over the credibility of the polls.

Uganda Election Tension: Bobi Wine Appeals To Elon Musk After Starlink Shuts Down Internet Access Days Before January 15 Polls

Ugandan opposition leader and presidential candidate Bobi Wine has appealed directly to Elon Musk after Starlink suspended its satellite internet services in Uganda just days ahead of the country’s January 15 general election. The shutdown followed a directive from the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), which accused Starlink of illegally providing telecommunication services without a valid operating licence.

Bobi Wine condemned the development, warning that restricting internet access ahead of the election could further shrink civic space and undermine democratic participation. In a public post, he accused President Yoweri Museveni’s government of long-standing repression and argued that the Starlink shutdown would limit citizens’ ability to communicate, access information and monitor the electoral process.

Starlink confirmed that it imposed a nationwide restriction on January 1, 2026, after receiving formal notice from the UCC. The company acknowledged that it is not yet licensed to operate in Uganda and said individuals had been using Starlink terminals imported from countries where the service is authorised. In response, Starlink said it disabled all terminals operating within Uganda to comply with regulatory demands.

Despite the controversy, Starlink stated its willingness to cooperate with Ugandan authorities and complete the licensing process. The incident has heightened concerns over digital rights, election transparency and government control of communications as Uganda prepares for a highly contested vote, with President Museveni seeking a seventh term after nearly 40 years in power.

Museveni Says Even Uganda Can Harm U.S. in Ground War, Cites Venezuela Crisis to Renew Call for Pan-African Security and Military Unity

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has stated that despite the United States’ overwhelming military dominance across sea, air, and space, it remains vulnerable in ground combat, arguing that even countries like Uganda could inflict damage in a close-range land confrontation. Museveni made the remarks while responding to questions on Pan-Africanism and lessons Africa can draw from Washington’s recent military intervention in Venezuela.

According to Museveni, U.S. military power lies in its ability to operate simultaneously across four domains—sea, air, space, and land—giving it a decisive advantage over many adversaries long before direct engagement. However, he noted that once operations shift to land, that advantage diminishes, exposing even powerful forces to harm.

He further explained that while the United States maintains surveillance and technological superiority even on land, weaker states remain strategically exposed across multiple fronts, highlighting a deep imbalance in global security. Museveni traced Africa’s vulnerability to the failure of post-independence leaders to pursue collective security and genuine Pan-African unity in the 1960s.

Citing the Venezuela crisis as a warning, Museveni concluded that Africa must urgently revive Pan-African cooperation, particularly in defence and security, to avoid remaining fragmented and strategically disadvantaged in an increasingly militarised world.
