Under siege’: Uganda’s opposition presidential candidate says military raids home

Uganda opposition presidential candidate Bobi Wine says the military has “taken control” of his house after “it jumped over the fence”.

Bobi Wine tweeted the news just hours after he alleged Thursday’s election was rigged, saying “every legal option is on the table” to challenge the official results.

Uganda held its elections on Jan 14. Local media outlets reported that elections went smoothly. Lots of polling stations opened an hour later; however, locals cast their ballots peacefully. Journalists say that on election day, authorities stepped up security patrols.
