Uganda: Bobi Wine's Supporters Detained Amid Election

In Uganda, opposition presidential candidate Bobi Wines supporters and officials face arrests and violence as campaigning begins for the upcoming January election. Bobi Wine, challenging President Museveni, has seen many of his supporters detained, including campaign coordinators and aides. Security forces have used tear gas, water cannons, and pepper spray to disperse crowds, with at least one hundred arrested in two days. President Museveni, Africas fourth longest-ruling leader, has changed the constitution to remove age and term limits, allowing him to stay in office since 1986. Bobi Wine claims the last election was rigged, and if Museveni wins again, he will extend his rule to nearly half a century. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
