Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has an early lead in a tense presidential election. The election has been marred by an internet shutdown, voting delays, and opposition claims of ballot stuffing. Provisional results show Museveni with over 70% of the vote. His main challenger, Bobi Wine, has 19%. Wine, a musician-turned-politician, has faced heavy security and alleged harassment. He claims his polling agents were abducted. Museveni, in power for 40 years, seeks to extend his rule. Uganda has not seen a peaceful transfer of power since independence from British colonial rule in 1962.
