Uganda’s electoral commission declared President Yoweri Museveni the landslide winner of the presidential election, extending his rule toward a fifth decade. The commission said Museveni won about 72% of the vote nationwide. The 81-year-old leader, in power since 1986, secured another term after a nationwide vote conducted amid tight security and an internet blackout, reinforcing his long dominance of Uganda’s political system.
