Bobi Wine claims he won UG elections
On Saturday, January 16, 2021, TUKO.co.ke reported that Bobi Wine called on his country mates to reject the general election results.
The politician claimed the outcome of the election did not capture the true picture on the ground, insisting he was a victim of election fraud.
The opposition front-runner urged the electoral commission to be guided by the constitution to do that which is right.
"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," he said.
