Uganda’s presidential election results are already taking shape, and as usual, Museveni has taken an early lead 😔 With 76% of the vote from 45% of polling stations, he is ahead of Bobi Wine, who has 20%. Meanwhile, security forces have surrounded Bobi Wine’s home, with reports of an unlawful house arrest. Read about this and more in the link below..https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78vzye1l2no

Yes, we had elections in #Uganda.But we all know the outcome was never in doubt. Museveni has stayed in power for over 40 years, using the same systems and tactics that always guarantee his victory. Until the process is truly free and fair, elections will remain a formality, not a real choice.🤔
