Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has secured a seventh term in office with 71.65 percent of the vote, amidst accusations of intimidation, violence, and an internet shutdown. African observers expressed concern over arrests and abductions that instilled fear during the election process.

• Museveni extends his 40-year rule after defeating challenger Bobi Wine, who garnered 24.72 percent.
• Wine reported being in hiding after a security forces raid on his home, stating his "complete rejection of the fake results."
• African observers denounced "reports of intimidation, arrest and abductions" and noted the internet shutdown "disrupted effective observation."
