Bobi Wine Speaks From Hiding Amidst Allegations of Rigged Ugandan Election

In Uganda, 81-year-old Yoweri Museveni claimed victory late last week for a seventh term as president. He first rose to power in 1986. The official results from this recent election put Museveni above 71%, while leading opposition figure, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, 43, better known as Bobi Wine, had around 25% of the vote. The musician-turned-politician went into hiding shortly after the tally was announced. Wine has condemned what he described as an unfair electoral process and alleged abductions of his polling agents before voting had even started in parts of the East African country. He said he rejected the “fake” results and urged Ugandans to peacefully protest until the “rightful results are announced.” Wine spoke with Host Marco Werman earlier today from an undisclosed location.
