“Whether Ugandans want Bobi Wine or “Bosco” (I am made to understand that means Museveni), that is a matter that will be settled early next year. However, recently we had semi-finals in the form of elections of the disabled, the elderly and the youth. Who won in the 3 matches? Bosco won without too much preparation. I am looking forward to the finals. Greetings to your foreign backers who fear a strong Uganda. Too bad for them,” Museveni stated in a series of social media posts today.

The NRM won massively in all of them, Museveni said while noting the NRM victory of 86.93% in the elderly elections , NRM got 84.84% for the disabled and 79% in the youth polls.
