President M7 Says NUP Rigged In 2021 Election By 1M Votes

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has accused the National Unity Platform Party (NUP) of rigging the 2021 Presidential Elections.

Museveni claims to have concrete evidence that NUP cheated by 1 million votes.

The president blames an apparent loophole in the law, which allows multiple voting when the electronic voting system malfunctions.

While responding to the allegations, the NUP sportsperson as well as the leader of Opposition, Hon. Joel Ssenyonyi said that President M7 has exposed himself by confirming to the public that the election wasn't free and fair.

General elections were held in Uganda on 14 January 2021 to elect the President and the Parliament.

The Electoral Commission announced Incumbent President Yoweri Museveni, the incumbent ruling since 1986, as the winner with 58.64% of the votes although the U.S. State Department qualified the electoral process as "fundamentally flawed" and Africa Elections Watch said they observed irregularities. 

The official voter turnout was 57% but is questioned since 409 polling stations have been announced to have 100% voter turnout.
