Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni won a seventh term in the election with 71,65 percent of the vote, according to official results released today.
The main opposition candidate, Kyagulani Ssentamu, better known as Bobby Wine, won 24,72 percent of the vote, according to final results.
Vine is expected to reject the final election results, given that he significantly challenged the electoral process.
He alleged that during the election campaign and on the day of the general elections, Thursday, January 15, the army was deployed throughout the country, and that the authorities had shut down the internet, while, according to his claims, several opposition voters' list observers were abducted.
Police earlier today denied reports that Vine had been arrested, after he posted on social media on Thursday that he was not allowed to leave his house, while his party announced a day later that he had been detained and taken away by military helicopter.
Wine claims that the election fraud was caused by problems with machines that read voters' biometric data, which caused voting to be delayed in several cities, including Kampala.
Citizens, dissatisfied with the results of the parliamentary elections, have organized protests in the last few days.
There has been no peaceful change of government in Uganda since it gained independence from Great Britain in 1962.
