Africa-Press-Uganda<\/p>\n

Ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party presidential candidate, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is poised to extend his reign in power to 40 years after Electoral Commission (EC)\u00a0chairman Simon Byabakama credited him\u00a05,562,141\u00a0<\/strong>votes, representing 58.89% of the\u00a09,445,184<\/strong>\u00a0valid votes.<\/p>\n

The second last batch of provisional results from the Electoral Commission indicate that closest opposition challenger Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine\u2019s percentage vote count had slightly dropped from to 34.62 to 34.55%, cementing Mr Museveni\u2019s lead as per Saturday at noon.<\/p>\n

President Museveni\u2019s percentage vote count increased slightly from 58.83% to 58.89% with less than 9% of the vote to count.<\/p>\n

According to EC, votes from all major traditional opposition swing territories and urban locales have been accounted for in provisional results.<\/p>\n

Results from the national tally centre, Kyambogo, Kampala clearly show that presidency through the January 14 poll is now a mission next to impossible for the other nine candidates lined against Mr Museveni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
