The main challenger pulled a vanishing act right under their noses. Robert Kyagulanyi told everyone on X that he slipped away from his Magere residence in Wakiso District while military squads swarmed the grounds. He claims they killed the lights and disabled surveillance gear while choppers circled above, but failed to catch him, even though his family remains stuck inside under guard.
This drama unfolded after the Electoral Commission declared Yoweri Museveni the big winner. Simon Byabakama announced that the eighty-one-year-old incumbent secured nearly eight million votes, which equals roughly seventy-one percent. The National Unity Platform candidate trailed way behind with barely three million ballots or roughly twenty-four percent.
Kyagulanyi totally rejected those stats as fake. He accused officials of ballot stuffing and intimidation while calling the event a military takeover rather than an election. The runner-up insisted that citizens possess the constitutional right to protest this scam peacefully. Official counts show only about half the registered voters actually showed up to participate.
State security heads denied all the rigging claims and argued that soldiers are necessary for keeping peace. Police dismissed rumors that they already cuffed the opposition boss. Confusion spreads because neighbors got blocked from the house and worried about abductions, while the internet stays dark across the capital.
