Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine on Friday claimed
victory in a presidential election, rejecting early results which
gave President Yoweri Museveni a wide lead as a
“joke”.
“I am very confident that we defeated the dictator by far. I
call upon all Ugandans to reject the blackmail. We have certainly
won the election and we’ve won it by far,” he told journalists.
The 38-year-old former ragga singer turned politician has been
the main rival to Uganda’s veteran leader who has been in power
since 1986 and is seeking a sixth term in office.

The internet remained down for a third day as vote counting
continued, with provisional results from 29 percent of polling
stations giving Museveni an early lead of 63 percent while Wine
trailed with 28 percent.

“The people of Uganda voted massively for change of leadership
from a dictatorship to a democratic government. But Mr. Museveni is
trying to paint a picture that he is in the lead. What a joke!”
said Wine.

He said the election was marred by “illegal, high handed actions
which Museveni and his regime of blood have undertaken to set stage
for the worst rigging this country has even witnessed.”

Mrs. Kanu told newsmen that the family had concluded plans to
fly the former naval officer abroad when the hospital’s medical
personnel said he had recovered.

She did not name the hospital.
According to her, the late Kanu had not been sick for so many
years, prior to the last illness.
Asked about the former Milad’s last moment, Mrs. Kanu said: “He
didn’t really have any last moment because he has never been sick
all the years I’ve known him; never been in any hospital.
“We used to go for check-ups near our home in London, like twice
in a year, but not for him to be admitted to the hospital. He was
only sick for about 11 days. At the time I was trying to fly him
abroad with an air ambulance, the hospital where he was, was
telling me there was nothing serious, that he has recovered. They
kept giving false hopes and deceiving us.
“We got admission for him in a London hospital. We were
arranging the air ambulance before they (medical personnel) said
there was no need for that, that he’d recovered, only for them to
send me a message yesterday (Wednesday) that he had passed on.
“It wasn’t long enough. He was in the hospital for only 11
days.”
She said her last conversation with her husband was on
Monday.
She described him as an intelligent man.
