Following Uganda's disputed presidential election on January 20, 2026, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of re-elected President Yoweri Museveni, threatened opposition leader Bobi Wine, who has been in hiding since the election. Kainerugaba accused Wine, who finished second in the election, of being a "terrorist" and threatened his life on social media, demanding Wine surrender to police within 48 hours or be treated as a rebel. Wine, in turn, criticized Kainerugaba's threats and claimed evidence of election fraud, alleging ballot stuffing in favor of Museveni. Wine also stated that his family was unsafe and demanded the military vacate his compound. The Ugandan army has denied accusations of raiding Wine's home.
