President Museveni was declared the victor in the January 14th 2021 general elections.
The elections were marred with violence and irregularities.
According to Bobi Wine, who was one of the presidential aspirants, he stated that the elections were rigged in favour of President Museveni.
Uganda President Yoweri Museveni`s swearing-in will see him ruling for the sixth term.
However, Museveni`s Celebrations comes at a time tension has engulfed opposition leader Bobi Wine`s home with heavy security deployed around his home.
According to a tweet by Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi wine on his Twitter account on Monday 10th, it read “The situation around my home is still tense. Dozens of soldiers are surrounding my home, checking every vehicle that comes in or goes out. All this to suppress the citizens’ voices as the emperor crowns himself for a 6th term! In this I am confident- WE SHALL OVERCOME,” Bobi wrote.
He further addressed his supporters in a tweet “The military and police have yet again surrounded my residence, as Gen. Museveni prepares to illegally swear himself in this Wednesday! The coward is fully aware that he’s illegitimate, and that’s why he’s very scared of the people. Hang in there, comrades. We shall overcome,” the tweet read.
