This is President Yoweri Museveni’s senior adviser, his name is Yiga Wamala. In this video, Yiga Wamala says that President Museveni will not lose power through voting. He says that the Electoral Commission will never announce the main opposition candidate, Bobi Wine, as the winner. He adds that power will remain with President Museveni and will then pass to his son, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who heads the Ugandan army. Bobi Wine, who was reportedly captured by the army, is now reported to have escaped during the raid and is said to be on the run. Elections under Museveni, who has been in power for four decades since 1986, are not genuine contests for power but a choreographed ritual with a predetermined outcome.
