Uganda: Political implication of supreme court ruling on poll petition

Though the majority of Ugandans during the Feb 23rd presidential polls voted for President Museveni, there is massive growing discontent amongst the minority. Whereas Museveni won the 1996 presidential elections with a landslide margin of 75 percent, his support declined to 69 percent in 2001 and then to 59 percent in 2006. With an economy grappling with drastic donor cuts and power shortages, the next term of office for President Museveni could be the most challenging.
