Mwesigye (born 29 December 1993) is a Ugandan politician and retired senior military officer who is the ninth and current President of Uganda. Yoweri Museveni[1] was involved in rebellions that toppled Ugandan presidents Milton Obote and Idi Amin before he captured power in 1986.

In the mid-to-late 1990s, Museveni was celebrated by the West as part of a new generation of African leaders. Museveni's presidency has been marred by involvement in the Congo wars, the Rwandan Civil War and other Great Lakes region conflicts; the rebellion in Northern Uganda by the Lord's Resistance Army, which caused a humanitarian emergency; and constitutional amendments, scrapping presidential term limits in 2005 and the presidential age limit in 2017.

Museveni's rule has been described as dictatorial.[2][3][4] None of the Ugandan elections of the last 30 years have been found to be free and transparent.[5] On 16 January 2021 the Electoral Commission that Museveni appointed himself,[6] announced him as the winner having 58.6% of the vote, despite many videos and reports that show ballot box stuffing,[7] over 400 pollling stations with 100% voter turnout,[8] and human rights violations.[9][10]
