President Yoweri Museveni has urged Ugandans to resume work since time for electioneering is over.
“I congratulate you for taking part in the elections. You saw how peaceful the presidential and parliamentary election was. Elections are now finished. Start working, don’t waste time on electioneering and quarreling,” President Museveni said on Thursday evening while updating the country on the Coronavirus situation.
Foreign Affairs Minister, Sam Kutesa said the same in January while meeting diplomats from foreign missions in Kampala to brief them about the just concluded elections.
“Messages of congratulations have been received. The observers have referred to the election as peaceful, free and fair and the results reflecting the will of the majority of our people. Ugandans have spoken and the country must move on. As we go into the next chapter in our democratic journey, many lessons have been learnt and the government will continue to sensitize its people to appreciate and understand that in enjoying their rights, every person is under obligation to act in accordance with the law,” Kutesa said.
President Yoweri Museveni was declared the winner with 6,042898 votes representing 58.38% beating several others in a heated election.
