Uganda: Museveni wins presidential election, extending rule into 5th decade
Yoweri Museveni won Uganda's presidential election with nearly 72% of the vote, securing a fifth term amid allegations of fraud and violence. Main challenger Bobi Wine alleged widespread fraud, reported a military raid on his home, and called for protests. Violence during the polls left several dead, but Uganda avoided large-scale unrest; speculation continues over Museveni's succession plans.
