KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - Uganda's main opposition party pledged to challenge President Yoweri Museveni's re-election in court, charging Tuesday that many people were barred from voting and some returns were falsified.
On Saturday, the Electoral Commission declared Museveni winner of Uganda's first multiparty election in 25 years. It said the president garnered 59 percent of the vote to 37 percent for Kizza Besigye, the strongest challenger.
"We reiterate our decision to reject the results of the recent presidential and parliamentary elections. We have now set up a legal team to contest the results in court," Besigye told reporters Tuesday.
