After casting his vote at a polling station in Rwakitura, Museveni said he was confident of securing "80% of the vote, if there is no cheating." According to partial results from Uganda's electoral commission based on tallies from nearly half of the polling stations, Museveni is leading with over 75% of the vote. Wine follows with about 21%, while the remainder is split among six other candidates.
Conflicting claims come before the release of official results by the country's electoral commission. The two leading candidates in Guinea-Bissau's presidential election incumbent Umaro Sissoco Embalo and main challenger Fernando Dias have both declared victory before the release of official results. Both campaigns had claimed on Monday that their contender exceeded the 50 percent threshold needed to win outright, eliminating the need for a run-off.
