Eight candidates contested Uganda’s presidency on Thursday, as millions of voters queued in the heat despite malfunctioning voter machines and delays in the delivery of polling materials, to choose the man who will lead the country for the next five years.
Provisional results from the Electoral Commission point to a decisive outcome. The two leading contenders, President Yoweri Museveni and opposition challenger Robert Kyagulanyi, traded constituencies and blocs in initial tallies.
