Sapa-AP - AFRICAN Union election observers said Uganda's presidential poll suffered from several shortcomings, and two losing candidates are calling for Egypt-style protests.
President Yoweri Museveni, leader for 25 years, won Friday's election with 68% of the vote. Top challenger Kizza Besigye won 26%.
The leader of the AU observer mission, Gitobu Imanyara, said yesterday that many voters couldn't vote due to poor management of polling centres.
Two losing presidential candidates yesterday threatened to mobilise mass protests against the government.
