Yoweri Museveni Secures Seventh Term Following Disputed Uganda Election

Yoweri Museveni secured his seventh term as president of Uganda with 72 percent of the vote, extending his 40-year rule following an election marred by fraud allegations and an internet shutdown.Security forces raided the home of opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, who subsequently went into hiding after dismissing the results and facing what he described as a military siege.While the United Nations and African Union observers raised concerns over human rights abuses, Yoweri Museveni labeled his critics as terrorists and continued preparing his son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, for potential succession.
