Bobi Wine tells the BBC from hiding he will not contest Uganda election results in court

Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine told the BBC from hiding that he will not contest the recent election results in court, citing a lack of confidence in the judiciary. Wine, who received 25% of the vote compared to President Museveni's 72%, alleges the results are "fake" due to ballot stuffing. He is urging his supporters to peacefully protest instead. Wine also criticized security forces for restricting access to his home and alleges a crackdown on political activists. While the African Union observers found no evidence of ballot stuffing, they did condemn the internet shutdown during the election. This is the second time Wine has lost to Museveni and declined to legally challenge the results.
