This is an AI-generated summary and has not been vetted by the Firstpost editorial team
Uganda is voting in a general election on January 15 as President Yoweri Museveni completes nearly four decades in power. He is now seeking a seventh term. Voters are choosing the president, members of parliament and local leaders in highly contested elections. Museveni’s long rule follows constitutional changes that removed presidential term and age limits. His main challenger is opposition leader Bobi Wine, a pop star turned politician who finished second in the 2021 election and rejected the result. Rights groups have accused the government of repression, which it denies. Ahead of polling, authorities ordered a nationwide internet shutdown, citing security concerns.
