Uganda's Museveni wins disputed election amid opposition crackdown and international reactions

Uganda held a tense presidential election in which President Yoweri Museveni won a seventh term, extending his nearly 40-year rule. Opposition leader Bobi Wine rejected the results and claimed to have escaped a police raid and house arrest, while Museveni labeled his opponents terrorists in his victory speech. The election occurred amid a military crackdown led by army chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba, with the UN citing 'widespread repression.' World leaders including China's Xi Jinping and Egypt's El-Sisi congratulated Museveni on his re-election.
