Presidential and parliamentary elections in Uganda began on Thursday, with voters deciding whether to grant President Yoweri Museveni a seventh term in office. Some polling stations reported morning delays, and eyewitnesses said election documents had not arrived when stations opened at 7 am (0400 GMT). Robert Kyagulanyi, known as Bobi Wine, urged citizens to vote and called for a change in leadership, while Amnesty International said security forces repeatedly prevented or broke up his campaign events using tear gas. The internet has been blocked across the country since Tuesday evening, and the communications authority said the move aimed to prevent misinformation and electoral fraud.
