UGANDA : YOWERI MUSEVENI WINS 5TH TERM !

 To be sincere with my African kinsmen, I am just tired of all these sit-tight African leaders! The question I desperately need an answer to is when would be the turn of the young vibrant Africans to make the necessary changes we deserve?  Yoweri Museveni, 5th Term/over 30 years in Office! They should just make him the emperor!.

Uganda's election commission has declared incumbent Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni ,71,has won a fifth term as president, extending his 30 years in office, while his nearest rival Kizza Besigye took 35%, the election commission said. The country had a voter turnout of 63%.

But Mr Besigye, who is under house arrest, said the results were a "sham", calling on the international community to reject them. "We have just witnessed what must be the most fraudulent electoral process in Uganda," he said in a statement.

EU observers have also criticised the poll, saying the governing party had created an "intimidating atmosphere" and that the opposition alleged vote rigging.

While praising the "remarkable determination" of Ugandans to vote, EU Chief Observer Eduard

Kukan said the governing National Resistance Movement's "domination of the political landscape distorted the fairness of the campaign".

The election has been marred by sporadic violence and opposition allegations of electoral fraud, with social media sites and messaging apps blocked.
