Tume ya Uchaguzi (EC) imemtangaza Yoweri Museveni (76) aliyeongoza Taifa hilo tangu mwaka 1986 kuwa Mshindi wa nafasi ya Urais kufuatia Uchaguzi Mkuu uliofanyika Januari 14, 2021
Tume imesema Museveni amepata Kura 5,851,037 sawa na asilimia 58.64 huku Mgombea wa Upinzani, Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) akipata Kura 3,475,298 sawa na asilimia 34.83
=====
Vote counting ended Saturday, with results from the Electoral Commission (EC) confirming National Resistance Movement (NRM) candidate Yoweri Kaguta Museveni as president elect, stretching his stay in office to 40 years.
“Having obtained the highest number of votes and votes cast in his favor being more than 50% at the election, EC declares Yoweri Kaguta Museveni as the president of Uganda,” EC chairperson Simon Byabakama disclosed.
A boosted armed forces’ presence remained visible, patrolling nearly deserted streets while national army choppers hovered and made low altitude maneuvers in some parts of a fortressed and muted country as EC chairman Simon Byabakama announced results.
According to Justice Byabakama, Mr Museveni,76, sealed victory with 5,851,037 million votes (58.64%) while opposition front-runner and National Unity Platform’s candidate, Bobi Wine trailed closest with 3,475,298 votes (34.83%).
There was no explicit concession to NRM’s victory from opposition dissidents in a country that has been under a total internet shutdown since polls started January 14.
