Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine was placed under house arrest following the country's 2026 general elections, with preliminary results showing a significant lead for incumbent President Yoweri Museveni.

• Museveni, who has ruled Uganda since 1986, was leading with 76.25 percent of votes counted compared to Wine's 19.85 percent.
• Wine's National Unity Platform (NUP) party reported that military and police surrounded his residence, with claims of security officers jumping the perimeter fence.
• The elections were marked by an internet blackout, malfunctioning biometric machines, undelivered ballot papers, and accusations of "widespread repression and intimidation" against the opposition.
