UGANDA - President Museveni leaves for a fourth term

Unsurprisingly, Yoweri Museveni won the presidential election held on February 18 in Uganda. The outgoing head of state, in power since 1986, was credited with 68.38% of votes. Even before the formalization of the results, Kizza Besigye, the main opposition candidate, has stepped into the breach to denounce fraud and irregularities.

Without commenting on the reliability of the poll, the daily mentions of Kampala, in an editorial, a deteriorating political climate in Uganda, may fuel suspicion.
