He faces seven challengers, including 43-year-old opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, a popular reggae star-turned politician. He came second in the 2021 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opposition candidate Bobi Wine told Anadolu before the polls on Wednesday that the internet shutdown is being used to block communication and as a way of compromising the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Election commission chief Simon Byabakama told local media outlets on Tuesday that he would declare the results within 48 hours of the close of polls, in accordance with the laws of the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat the voters will say is what I will declare to the nation, it is them who determine the president of the country, not me\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In parts of Kampala and surrounding areas where Anadolu reached, people formed long lines at polling stations, although voting was delayed, awaiting voting materials to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The East African country\u2019s presidential election uses a two-round system, with a runoff held if no candidate wins more than 50% of the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uganda\u2019s parliament has 556 members, including 353 directly elected lawmakers, 146 district woman representatives, 30 members from the army, youth, workers, older persons, and people with disabilities, and 27 ex-officio members, including the vice-president and ministers, who cannot vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 21,6 million voters have been registered for the election, up from 18,1 million in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campaign period has included restrictions on rallies and media coverage, with security measures deployed nationwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>81-year-old President Yoweri Museveni, in power since 1986, seeks 7th term against 7
