Uganda's Bobi Wine Accuses President

From AP via the UK’s Independent:

Ugandan presidential challenger Bobi Wine on Friday accused the country’s longtime president of staging a “coup” in last week’s election and urged people to protest his loss through nonviolent means. But he suggested he might not go to court to challenge the official results.

Calling the Jan. 14 polls “a mockery of democracy,” the opposition lawmaker and popular singer whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu made his first public address since polling day. Speaking while under house arrest, he asserted in an online briefing that Ugandans are being oppressed by ”a small group of gunmen” in charge of the East African country.
