The opposition, led by Kizza Besigye, rejected "categorically" the result is a scenario that opens the door to uncertainty because of the promise of Museveni's opponents to take their supporters to the streets to protest fraud.
Museveni, who promises to turn Uganda into a middle income country in the next five years, has made 68.2% of the vote, with 90% of the vote, as has just informed the National Electoral Commission of Uganda. The result, an increase of 10% compared to the 2006 call, shattering the aspirations of Besigye to fight a runoff against the president, a scenario that could have challenged the president's residence.
Besigye, leader of Forum for Democratic Change and the one candidate who had the potential to overshadow the president, has made 26.1% of the votes [10% less than in 2006, reports EFE], according to official results , a book that has rejected and tried to "manufactured." The candidate who has faced his third straight to the president, and during the campaign promised to carry out their particular vote count to be wary of the Electoral Commission has announced that it rejects "any authority Museveni and any appointment." The coalition supporting Besigye, Cooperation Between the group matches, has said that according to his own account his candidate is ahead after reporting "widespread irregularities" last Friday, the day of the election.
Besigye has announced it will now reference "to political parties, religious authorities, civil society and public opinion to see how to end illegal government [...]". "We will inform the country of the next stage" stated before the media present in Kampala, capital of Uganda. The mission of observers from the European Union for its part stressed that "unnecessary military presence on the day of the vote [on Friday] has created a sense of intimidation," while he assured that "the outgoing president's power been exercised to the point of compromising a major competition for candidates and political parties in the field.
" Kampala different testimonies speak of a heavy militarization of the streets. When Museveni was reelected in 2001, promised to stay only one more term, as marked by the Constitution, but four years later moved to overturn the limit of years that a president could be in power. During his time before the arrival of power, when he fought against the dictatorships of the recent history of Uganda, Museveni argued that the main problem of African leaders was his refusal to relinquish power.
With 25 years in power behind him, Bush has become the most hated. Next May 12th will Museveni sworn in for another term. Uganda on Friday also held elections for Parliament, who were asked to vote 13.9 million Ugandans. The results are expected in the coming days.
