Overnight clashes in Uganda have left at least seven opposition supporters dead as President Yoweri Museveni takes a significant lead in the presidential election results. The opposition alleges security forces attacked them, while police blame the violence on opposition supporters.

• President Museveni leads with 75% of votes from 60% of polling stations.
• Opposition leader Bobi Wine, with 21% of the votes, is under effective house arrest, surrounded by security forces at his home in Kampala.
• The internet shutdown, imposed earlier in the week, has severely hampered the flow of information regarding the violence and election updates across Uganda.
