Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni re-elected

Addis Ababa, January 17, 2021 (FBC) -Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has been re-elected, electoral officials say.

Museveni won almost 59% of the vote, with Bobi Wine trailing with about 35%, the Electoral Commission said.

Thursday’s poll may turn out to be the “most cheating-free” in the history of the African nation, the president said.

The result gives President Museveni a sixth term in office.

The 76-year-old, in power since 1986, says he represents stability in the country.
