Overview
- With more than 80% of ballots tallied, the Electoral Commission reports Yoweri Museveni at 73.7% to Bobi Wine’s 22.7%, with final results expected later Saturday.
- Police and the army say Wine has not been arrested, while his party claims he is confined and was taken by helicopter, and officers cite controlled access to his residence.
- Reporters describe calm outside Wine’s home but note communications disruptions that limit contact with opposition figures and observers.
- An internet blackout imposed before voting continues into the count, complicating monitoring of results and allegations of abuses.
- Voting faced technical failures with biometric machines and late ballot deliveries, as rights officials decried repression and pockets of unrest followed parliamentary tallies.
