Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni sailed to a sixth consecutive term January 14, following a campaign that ramped up anti-gay rhetoric and was marred by violence against the opposition party.
Museveni, 76, garnered 58.64% of the vote over his opponent Robert Kyagulanyi, 38, better known as pop star Bobi Wine, who challenged the elder leader's 34-year rule.
Uganda's election season was the most politically violent in decades, according to experts. Leading up to the presidential election, more than 50 opposition supporters were killed during suppression of rallies.
Opposition leaders and campaign staff were intimidated and arrested by Uganda's security forces. The country's internet was shut down.
