Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine stated he escaped a raid by police and the army on his residence, coinciding with incumbent President Yoweri Museveni's declared victory in the presidential election. Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, communicated his escape via a post on X on Saturday, writing, "I want to confirm that I managed to escape from them."

Kyagulanyi added that his wife and other family members remain under house arrest. He stated he was aware of efforts to locate him. The incident occurred amidst a tense political climate following the disputed election results.

Museveni's victory, securing him another term in office, has been met with skepticism and allegations of fraud by Wine and his supporters. The election has drawn international attention, with concerns raised about the fairness and transparency of the process. Prior to the election, Wine had urged his supporters to "protect the vote," anticipating potential irregularities.

The Ugandan army has denied allegations of abducting Bobi Wine, further complicating the situation. At least seven people were reportedly killed overnight in Uganda following the election, highlighting the volatility of the post-election period. Young Ugandans, who represent a significant portion of Wine's support base, have expressed a desire for stability and opportunities.

The current status of Wine's whereabouts remains unclear. The situation is ongoing, with potential implications for Uganda's political stability and future governance.
