 KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - Unofficial results released by newspapers and radio stations Friday showed a tight race between incumbent President Yoweri Museveni and his leading challenger in Uganda's first multiparty election in 25 years.
The media outlets were collecting official results posted outside nearly 20,000 individual polling stations around the country and were conducting their own tally, which could not be independently confirmed.
While each outlet reported different results from different stations, all of them indicated a close race between Museveni and opposition leader Kizza Besigye. The distribution of the results was not immediately clear. Museveni traditionally does better in rural areas, which are usually the last to report their results.
