Ugandan politician Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine says that it’s been four days since their military surrounded the home placing his family under house arrest.
The singer-turned-politician, who has since rejected the results announced by Ugandan Electoral Commission on Saturday, claims his party officials had also been restricted from visiting him.
Wine, 38, of National Unity Platform, was among the 10 candidates challenging President Yoweri Museveni in the Thursday's presidential election in which Museveni was declared a winner with 58.6 per cent of the votes while wine scooped 34.8 per cent.
