Abstract
The article focuses on the recent re-election of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, who secured nearly 72% of the votes in an election that the main opposition, led by musician-turned-politician Bobi Wine, claimed was marred by rigging and electoral misconduct. Museveni's victory extends his rule, which began in 1986, and comes as Uganda anticipates an oil boom that could significantly boost its economy. Allegations of voter suppression, including a nationwide internet shutdown and disruptions to opposition rallies, have been raised by rights groups. Analysts express concerns about potential political instability and risks for investors due to the concentration of power around Museveni and the possibility of a transition to his son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
