 KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - President Yoweri Museveni warned Ugandans on Tuesday not to be influenced by foreign meddlers, in a speech that closed an election campaign criticized by human rights groups for government harassment of the opposition.
Opinion polls suggest Museveni, who has ruled Uganda for 20 years and changed the constitution so that he could run for a third term, could have difficulty capturing a majority in Thursday's vote, Uganda's first multiparty election in 26 years.
Museveni went on to tell 12,000 supporters at his final rally that he would not let opposition members of parliament keep him from doing what he thinks best for Uganda. He said he would also reject attempts by foreigners to influence him.
