Uganda's forty-year strongman seeks another term

Force in Play

Forcibly disappeared January 15, 2026; whereabouts unknown

On January 17, Uganda's Electoral Commission declared Yoweri Museveni the winner of his seventh term with 71.65% of votes to Bobi Wine's 24.72%. The joint African Union-COMESA-IGAD observer mission said the election was conducted within a polarized political context. After security forces raided Wine's home on January 16 in what his party called an abduction attempt, he escaped to an undisclosed location where he remained in hiding, rejecting the results as fraudulent and presenting video evidence of election officials ticking ballots for Museveni.
