6:14Now PlayingUgandan President Yoweri Museveni, one of Africa’s longest-serving rulers, took a commanding lead in the nation’s presidential election, according to preliminary results.
With ballots tallied from almost 65% of polling stations, Museveni garnered 62% support, and his main rival -- pop star-turned-politician Bobi Wine -- 31%, the Electoral Commission of Uganda said on state television Friday. The nation has 18.1 million registered voters out of a population of about 45 million.
Final results are expected to be announced over the weekend.
Wine, who complained of repeated intimidation by the authorities during the campaign, said in a Twitter posting on Friday that members of the military had scaled his fence and seized control of his home.
