Background

Yoweri Museveni has been the President of Uganda since 1986, making him one of the longest-serving heads of state in Africa. He came to power after a five-year guerrilla war that overthrew the government of Milton Obote.

Museveni has been praised for his role in ending Uganda's civil war and promoting economic growth, but his government has also been criticized for human rights abuses, corruption, and authoritarianism.

Museveni has been accused of manipulating the electoral process to stay in power, and his government has been accused of cracking down on opposition politicians and activists.

Despite these criticisms, Museveni remains a popular figure in Uganda, and his party has won every presidential election since 1996.
