The Opposition candidate, Bobi Wine called the announcement a “joke”, claiming victory over Mr. Museveni in the presidential election.
According to Bobi Wine “I am very confident that we defeated the dictator by far. I call upon all Ugandans to reject the blackmail. We have certainly won the election and we’ve won it by far,” Bobi Wine asserted.
The 38-year-old former musician has been the main rival to Uganda’s veteran leader who has been in power since 1986 and is seeking a sixth term.
Mr. Wine said his house had been surrounded by the military since Wednesday and on Friday, he tweeted that the military had taken over his compound.
He noted that the elections had seen “illegal, high handed actions which Museveni and his regime of blood spillers have undertaken to set the stage for the worst rigging this country has even witnessed,”.
