Uganda goes to the polls in January and while 10 candidates seek to unseat President Yoweri Museveni — from a position he has held for the past 34 years — analysts view the election as a three-horse race.

President Museveni’s entrenched National Resistance Movement party faces Bobi Wine’s National Unity Platform (NUP) and the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) — the biggest opposition party in the country — which is fronting Patrick Oboi Amuriat.
