Bobi Wine, Ugandan Opposition Leader, Was Abducted, His Party Says

Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine was allegedly abducted from his home by security forces on Friday, according to his National Unity Platform party. The party stated on X that an army helicopter landed at Wine's residence and forcibly removed him to an unknown location. The alleged abduction occurred ahead of the expected announcement of election results, where President Yoweri Museveni is predicted to win. Uganda is currently experiencing a nationwide internet blackout, implemented by authorities to ensure security, which has severely limited communication. Wine had previously expressed concerns about potential election rigging and warned of protests if he lost, also predicting the internet shutdown and his potential house arrest.
