Opposition candidate urges citizens to reject result of ‘most fraudulent election in country’s history’
Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni has won a decisive re-election victory on Saturday, elections officials said, but his main rival Bobi Wine has alleged widespread fraud and said citizens should reject the result.
Museveni won 5.85 million votes, or 58.6%, while main opposition candidate Wine had 3.48 million votes (34.8%), the Electoral Commission said at a news conference on the final results from Thursday’s election.
