Ugandans are casting their ballots today in a highly tense contested presidential election, but many are doing so amid an ongoing nationwide internet shutdown that has cut off public access to social media, web services, and messaging platforms.
The election pits incumbent President Yoweri Museveni, 81, against eight presidential challengers, led by Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, 43, a musician-turned-politician whose supporters say they have faced repeated harassment throughout the campaign.
Museveni has been in power since 1986, making this his seventh bid for the presidency and extending a rule that now spans over four decades.

The US Department of State announced on Tuesday, January 13, that it designated the chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon as “terrorist”, over allegations of them posing “a threat to the United States”.
Analysts assume that the Trump administration’s sanctions on the targeted organizations aims to further tighten the stranglehold on Hamas, by intimidating its supporters – on the political and popular levels – before an agreement on phase two of the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire deal is reached.
By doing so, the United States and Israel hope to push Hamas to concede being part of any future Palestinian government that would rule post-war Gaza.
