WHAT AN HYPOCRITICAL WIN FOR MUSEVENI

It goes without an iota of doubt that the hypocritical, National Resistance Movement (NRM) candidate Yoweri Museveni will extend his 30-year rule after Uganda’s poll body declared him the winner of the presidential poll.

Of course a straight thinking human being will know that it’s Museveni who declared himself the winner. It goes without doubt that he manipulated each and every stage of the electoral process to his own advantage.

The “DEFIANCE” Campaign launched by the main Official opposition leader Rt. Col Dr. Kizza Besigye seemed not to bare any fruits as it earned him several arrests and beating from the police who were definitely working on Museveni’s directives.

Intimidation and harassment of opposition by police and law enforcement bodies, as well as arrests of supporters and voters were reported from more than 20 districts. Opposition candidates’ ability to campaign freely was restricted on several instances during the campaign period.

The Ugandan elections is an example of the rot that the African leaders have in regards to clinging to clinging to power.

President Museveni 

I see this as an intention to bring back Africa to the “ukoloni mamboleo”. The rate at which the “OLD GUARD” is moving is highly a bad influence t the upcoming leaders who will seek to behave like the fellows who cling to power and refuse to leave.

I do not see the essence of Wasting the taxes and monies of the Ugandan people to conduct an already determined elections, there is no need at all to call for an election if the winner is already known, Museveni should restrain from wasting the government resources let him rule to his death then people can hold elections.

What I am more amazed by from my observation of the Ugandan elections, is the manner in which the Electoral Commission of Uganda was openly and defiantly in support of the incumbent. That to me was preposterous and uncalled for, this means that Mr. Museveni has control of the whole process all the electoral laws in Uganda have actually been effected by Mr. Museveni himself.

The incidents that transpired in Uganda should not be allowed to happen to any other country in Africa at all.

Museveni garnered with 5,617,503 votes, and his main challenger, Forum for Democratic Change contender (FDC) candidate Kizza Besigye, came in second after garnering 3, 270, 290 votes.

71-year-old Museveni got 60.7% of the 9, 246, 563 valid votes while 4-time presidential candidate Besigye garnered 35.37%.
