The electoral commission on Saturday said official results showed Mr Museveni secured 58.6 per cent, while Robert Kyagulanyi, better known as Bobi Wine, received 34.8 per cent.
Mr Wine has said he would challenge the results. “Whatever is being declared is a complete sham,” he said. Electoral officials said the singer-turned-politician should prove his allegations of vote rigging, which he said he would do once internet access is restored.
