Election Fever in Uganda: Museveni's Legacy and the Rise of the 'Ghetto President'

Ugandan President Museveni aims to extend his long rule amid a tense election against opposition led by singer Bobi Wine. Amid allegations of vote-rigging, a heavy military presence, and an internet shutdown, the election tests Museveni's political resilience and succession plan for his potential successor, Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

In Uganda, President Yoweri Museveni seeks to extend his decades-long rule amid a contentious national election, featuring a heavy security presence and an internet blackout. As voters head to the polls, questions loom over election integrity and succession, with Museveni's leadership under intense scrutiny.

Opposition candidate Bobi Wine, a former pop star turned politician, has captured the youth's imagination with promises of economic reform. However, reports of ballot irregularities have surfaced, intensifying the election's already volatile atmosphere.

Museveni remains confident of an overwhelming victory, though Western nations have expressed concerns over human rights violations and election fairness. As results are awaited, the possibility of transition looms large over Uganda's political landscape.
