Last update: an hour ago

Museveni Sworn In: Yoweri Museveni was sworn in for a record seventh term on May 12, extending his rule to at least 2031 after a January election he won with 71.65%—while Bobi Wine rejected the results and fled, alleging ballot-stuffing and intimidation. Security & Spectacle: Kampala saw heavy security, including armoured vehicles and a major drone/military display at Kololo, as regional leaders and diplomats attended. Succession Buzz: Attention is again turning to Muhoozi Kainerugaba as a possible successor, with dynastic talk back in the spotlight. Sports Spotlight: Uganda’s Sawe and other East Africans made marathon headlines, with multiple men breaking the two-hour barrier in elite races. Entertainment & Philanthropy: Absa KH3 7 Hills Run returns May 17 with performances by Azawi, Winnie Nwagi, Dax Vibes and King Saha, with proceeds aimed at keeping the girl child in school. Legal/Global Watch: British ICC lawyer Peter Haynes is set to replace Nicholas Kaufman as lead counsel for Rodrigo Duterte.
