As President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, 81, was sworn in on May 12 for a seventh straight term in office, Uganda marked another formal milestone in a presidency that has now spanned nearly four decades. The inauguration at Kololo Independence Grounds followed the Jan. 15 general election in which official results from the Electoral Commission declared Museveni the winner with 71.65% of the vote, ahead of the National Unity Platform (NUP) leader, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, who polled 24%.
