@_dankwekos: Dr. Kissa Besigye campaigns for the presidential sir in 2001. (10 Mar 2001) English/Nat Ugandans go to the polls on Monday and they have plenty to thank President Yoweri Museveni for: relative peace, a thriving economy, rising incomes and a reduction in the H-I-V infection rate. But he cannot count on his accomplishments alone to guarantee him another five-year term. In next week's election, Museveni faces his strongest challenge yet after a campaign that has tested the former guerrilla leader's commitment to democracy. The contest is the most competitive since he took power in 1986, ousting a military junta that had overthrown President Milton Obote a year earlier. In the May 1996 presidential elections, Museveni faced no serious challengers and won 73 percent of the vote. Ugandan elections since 1995 have been mainly free and fair and considered models for Africa, but many worry this election may be tainted. Museveni looks likely to win, but the strength of Kizza Besigye's challenge has led some to bet on him as a long shot for an upset if there is a runoff. #fyp #fypp #fypppppppppppppp #ugandatiktok🇺🇬 #uganda #kenyantiktok🇰🇪 #tanzaniatiktok #museveni #besigye #bobiwine
