The siege at Bobi Wine’s home come hours after he rejected the preliminary results being displayed by the Electoral commission.
Speaking to the press, the Kyadondo East MP claimed victory in the presidential election, objecting early results which gave President Yoweri Museveni an early lead.
“I am very confident that we defeated the dictator by far. I call upon all Ugandans to reject the blackmail. We have certainly won the election and we've won it by far.

What a joke!” said Bobi Wine
