The head of Uganda’s electoral commission, Simon Byabakama, has received threats against declaring certain presidential candidates as winners in the upcoming election, particularly regarding opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, known as Bobi Wine. Byabakama asserted he would not be swayed by these threats and emphasized that the election outcome would be determined by voters and the law. President Yoweri Museveni, seeking a seventh term, faces Bobi Wine and six other candidates amid a tense campaign marked by opposition disruptions and military presence. As the election approaches, internet access has been restricted to prevent misinformation, raising concerns about electoral repression.
