Fact-checkers debunked social media posts that reused old footage to claim fraud and protests after Uganda’s 2026 election. One video showing ballot manipulation came from the 2016 vote, not the recent polls. Another clip alleging post-election protests was taken from a 2025 campaign report. Both posts circulated widely online, amplifying misleading claims amid reports of internet disruptions, opposition repression, and limited unrest after the vote.
