Uganda: Internet restored after Museveni s electoral victory
Social media platforms in Uganda played a crucial role in the mobilization of opposition leader Bobi Wine s followers. Shutting down the internet on the eve of polls added to doubts about how fair the elections were.

Bobi Wine s opposition party National Unity Platform (NUP) has announced that it will contest the official results of January 14 elections, which it dismissed as fraudulent. It has also called for the release of Wine, a singer-turned-lawmaker, who is presently under house arrest. Shortly after polling stations closed, Wine found a way to breach an official ban on Twitter to alert the world to his predicament.
