Ugandan President Museveni Seeks Seventh Term Amidst Election Challenges and Violence

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is seeking a seventh term after four decades in power, facing his main challenger, pop star Bobi Wine, who mobilizes young voters. The election campaign has been marked by violence and crackdowns on opposition supporters, with accusations of corruption and human rights abuses leveled against the government. While Museveni's dominance of institutions suggests a likely victory, the election's unfolding is seen as a test of his political strength and could impact the country's future stability and development, particularly with the anticipated start of oil production.
