Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni won a seventh term in office yesterday, after an election marred by violence and an internet shutdown, with African observers saying arrests and abductions had “instilled fear”.
The Electoral Commission said Museveni, 81, won 71.65 percent of the vote in Thursday’s election, amid reports of at least 10 deaths and intimidation of the opposition and civil society.
His victory allows him to extend his 40-year rule of the east African country.
He defeated Bobi Wine, 43, a former singer-turned-politician who won 24.72 percent.
If the older generation continue to hold on to power across African nations, when will the Youth be given the chance to rule, win and serve their country ?
