Uganda’s long-serving President Yoweri Museveni has said it would be wrong to hold a general election due early next year if the coronavirus pandemic persists, signaling for the first time a possible postponement.
“To have elections when the virus is still there... It will be madness,” the 75-year-old Museveni, whom opponents cast as an authoritarian clinging to power, said in an interview with the local NBS Television.
