Ugandans have regained internet access after a nearly 100-hour government-ordered shutdown during the country's presidential elections. The blackout, which began on January 13, was implemented as a security measure to prevent misinformation and maintain public order during the tense election period.

• Incumbent President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni was declared the winner with 71.65% of the vote, approximately 7.9 million ballots.
• The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) confirmed internet restoration on the evening of Saturday, January 17, shortly after election results were announced.
• All public internet services, including mobile data, fibre optic, and satellite internet, were suspended, while critical services like national hospital systems and core banking remained operational.
