DW News published this video item, entitled “Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni wins sixth term in disputed election | DW News” – below is their description.
The Electoral Commission in Uganda has announced the final result from Thursday’s election, declaring incumbent President Yoweri Museveni the winner. The 76-year-old is one of the world’s longest-serving leaders. His main challenger, singer-turned-lawmaker Bobi Wine, is accusing Museveni of fabricating the results – calling the poll “the most fraudulent in the history of Uganda.” He urged Ugandans to reject the results. The electoral commission has dismissed the allegations. Earlier Wine and a group journalists covering the vote said they were forced to flee from soldiers posted to the opposition candidate’s compound in the capital Kampala.

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
