General elections were held in Uganda on 14 January 2021 to elect the President and the Parliament.[1][2] The Electoral Commission announced Incumbent President Yoweri Museveni, the incumbent ruling since 1986, as the winner with 58.64% of the votes although the U.S. State Department qualified the electoral process as "fundamentally flawed"[3] and Africa Elections Watch said they observed irregularities. The official voter turnout was 57%[4] but is questioned since 409 polling stations have been announced to have 100% voter turnout.[5][6]
