| 2006-02-26 |
 KAMPALA: Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni won the country's first multi-party polls since 1980, according to official results released Saturday giving him an insurmountable lead over opposition challenger Kizza Besigye. The Electoral Commission said Museveni had taken 60.8 percent of Thursday's vote to Besigye's 36 percent with 91 percent of polling stations reporting, making his bid to extend a 20-year hold on power an unannounced certainty. |

| #1 Comments? Is this good or bad? I haven't been following this and I'm sure 99.9 percent of the rest of the world hasn't either. (clicks worldmap to remind self where Uganda is). Now if they dig up Natalie Holloway, then that will put them on the map. But in the mean time, how about a little help for the ignorant?? ;-) |
