Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu (popularly known as, Bobi Wine), the National Unity Platform's flagbearer has rejected early results from the January 14 Uganda Presidential Elections.

With 29.4% of votes from Thursday’s ballot counted, Museveni had won 1,852,263 votes, or 63.9%, while opposition candidate Bobi Wine had 821,874 (28.4%).

The 76-year-old President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni of the National Resistance Movement says he is standing for stability, calling Kyagulanyi "a product of the West."

He has pledged to concede if the election remains free and fair.

The 'former' Freedom fighter Museveni, took over office on January 29, 1986 through armed uprising and returned the country to democratic mandate in 1996, winning and commencing his first of five terms.

His main challenger, Wine, 38, has gone through heavy campaigns, galvanising young Ugandans via the thrust of the social media to seek political change.

The election campaign was marred by deadly crackdowns by security forces on opposition candidates and their supporters.

The singer-turned-lawmaker insists there has been widespread voter fraud, but hoped that the will of the people be declared.

Hello Uganda! Despite the wide spread fraud and violence experienced across the country earlier today, the picture still looks good. Thank you Uganda for turning up and voting in record numbers. The challenge now is for Mr. Byabakama and the EC to declare the will of the People.

The Uganda Communications Commission shut down the internet on the eve of election, in a move many see as a way of compromising the vote.

Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine on Friday claimed victory in a Presidential Election, rejecting early results which gave President Yoweri Museveni a wide lead as a "joke".

"I am very confident that we defeated the dictator by far. I call upon all Ugandans to reject the blackmail. We have certainly won the election and we've won it by far," he told journalists.

The 38-year-old former ragga singer turned politician has been the main rival to Uganda's veteran leader who has been in power since 1986 and is seeking a sixth term in office.

"The people of Uganda voted massively for change of leadership from a dictatorship to a democratic government. But Mr. Museveni is trying to paint a picture that he is in the lead. What a joke!" said Wine.

He said the election was marred by "illegal, high handed actions which Museveni and his regime of blood have undertaken to set stage for the worst rigging this country has even witnessed."

He said he would detail the irregularities once the internet was restored.

We are winning,” he said.

“We are putting every legal, every constitutional and every non-violent option on the table,” Wine told Reuters. “I will be happy to share the videos of all the fraud and irregularities as soon as the internet is restored.”

As votes continued to be counted, Wine has indicated he is under siege.

We are under siege. The military has jumped over the fence and has now taken control of our home.

BOBI WINE

None of these military intruders is talking to us. We are in serious trouble. We are under seige.

Uganda Electoral Commission head, Simon Byabakama, assured the nation on live TV on Thursday evening after polls closed that results were arriving at the national tally centre despite the nationwide internet blackout.

“We are not using local internet to transmit our results, we are using our own system,’’ he said, without giving details of that system.

“Don’t worry, results will come,’’ Byabakama added.

The United States and the European Union cancelled its observation of Thursday's election.

Sadly, I announce USA's decision not to observe #Uganda’s elections due to @UgandaEC’s decision to deny more than 75% of our accreditation requests. A robust contingent of observers, including local entities, promotes transparency & accountability.

However, the African Union and the East African Community sent delegates to observe the election.

18 million registered voters took part in the polls which seek to elect a President and the Parliament.

Museveni don run Bobi Wine APC style.

"I am very confident that we defeated the dictator by far. I call upon all Ugandans to reject the blackmail. We have certainly won the election and we've won it by far," he told

I'm familiar with these words. These words cost Nigeria a good man.

Continue to rest in Peace sir.

It's the African way.

Na so failure dey start... Never you lose on the election day itself... After that it becomes story

Bobi wine should go and take a seat!
He still has a lot to learn.

Dictatorship indeed!

Look at what Donald Trump has caused

Damnnn niggarrrr.
Isoright .....
I hope nor be another ivory coast dey load so

Very foolish statement declaring yourself president-elect. You want to use sympathy to make yourself president knowing this will evoke unrest in your country? Instead of you to go back to the books and fight for 2025 like George Weah of Liberia did, you want power now now. Because majority of the youth and your music fans support you doesn't mean you will depose a seasoned politician with all the government/armed forces support in just one contest. Now, you just made things worse for yourself, by declaring yourself president-elect. Something Atiku could not even do when he contested against Buhari. You have fought the first battle in your political career, you lost now move on and take a cue.

Social media is really deceiving alot of people that they can become powerful because of support and followership. Just like some group of Nigerians believe Aisha Yeshufu or Falz will become president in 2023.

I know some people will insult me. Those same people insulted Trump when he said he won the elections. But trust human beings, who are willing to shift their standards to suit their sentiments.

Is he from Nigeria? No!

Next valuable news please !!!

Buhari full everywhere

When the President of the United States refused to step down, this is the kind of precedent he is setting.



Waiting for America's hypocritical assessment of this election.

No surprise hete

Okoto yawns
Tears loading 60%

Wahala be like bicycle....

Hope it doesn't end in tears o....

People like Museveni can not be removed from office this way. Bobi shouldn't get himself killed or jailed please. He should just keep playing opposition.

Meanwhile, isn't it funny that Museveni who is tainted as an agent of the USA is saying someone is an agent of the west

kiri kiri e go end

Bobi shouldn't play near any treasonable utterances if not na jail till Museveni kick bucket

mariahAngel:
Bobi wine should go and take a seat!

Dictatorship indeed!

How will you believe that the election was even fair.

Someone that blocked internet to cause confusion.Let the man declare himself president it was obvious the old man was going to rig

Museveni should just convert Uganda into a monarchy.

Nawa

Bobi wine should accept he has lost

The problem with african elections is that we complain about the big men in power, yet on election day, we vote for the same big men in power

Like now in Nigeria. Complain about APC, PDP then vote for them on election day.

Ugandans don't want change. They want stability. And the sad thing is that Uganda needs change but the people don't want it

Another June 12 loading.

Let him just bow out now when he can because these dictators doesn't care about human rights or rule of law.

It's a good thing he tried to remove the grandpa in power, but let's face it, there's little he can do, grandpa has been ruling since Bobi was 4.

Bobi wine odogwu

He lost like a loser

UGANDA DONALD TRUMP

This Uganda donald trump is who the western world will support that he won but the REAL DONALD TRUMP is called a Nazist for disputing the election results

38 years old Opposition leader, Presidential aspirant...

Wow!!!

That is how you hold revolution as a youth through Ballot and not making noise on twitter


.

Hahaha... Will America step in?

Was Bobi wine expecting results to be declared in his favor ? He must be day dreaming.

These words of Mr Wine, doesn't always end well.
From past observations, it's quite obvious that the powers that be have ran him LOCAL.
