Voting has started in Uganda in fraught presidential and parliamentary elections with an internet blackout in place.
Longtime President Yoweri Museveni is competing against opposition front-runner Bobi Wine, a pop star-turned-opposition leader.
Security forces have killed more than 50 people in opposition rallies.
Two-thirds of the country’s registered voters are under the age of 30 and many feel disconnected from politics.
Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi reports from Kampala, Uganda.

We need change m7 is a devil he kills our innocent people.we are too tired of him
35 years without change SAYS IT ALL‼️🤷♂️
@BOBIWINE MUST WIN FOR PRESIDENCY …. musevenMUSTGOOO
Bobi for president
Am a Kenyan but I belief bobi has no agenda to transform Uganda his agenda is just to remove museveni I followed his campaign rallies he had no idea nor manifesto …
Am a Ugandan and bobi wine has a very good agenda for Uganda I have revised his manifesto several times and have followed his rallies
@Ugandans Eye thank you…but his rallies only chants of peoples power ” that doesn’t appeal
To remove the dictator who has been in seat for over 30 years is an agenda! The purpose of removing Museveni is because he has been in chair for 35 years and have done not alot. I have followed Bobi Wine and he has said he will fix alot that Museveni has not fixed for 35 years, roads, hospitals, schools, medicine, healthcare, and so on, tell people the truth 🙂
Inshaa Allah mukama wali every thing will fine in our new Uganda
Ethiopia is not in position to keep the horn Stable. so accept whatever happens and live in peace, if u dont want to enter the chaos of the horn.

Thank you Catherine for reporting.
New president is coming
He switched off internet because of stealing elections, oooooohhh my country Uganda oohh Allah save us from that dictator museveni
Do they have dominion voting machines lol. I hope not.
Bobi Wine clearly has no manifesto. He only talks about Museveni being old. That cannot be the reason you vote anyone out of office. It doesn’t matter if Museveni is in power for 40yrs. Tell your people what you want to do for them.
Point blank!
In Uganda the majority are oppressed as museveni’s family and friends are enjoying 😭😭😭killing opposed people in cold blood ,jailing ,and locking them in torturing chambers, may God intervene
People power our power ☔☔☔☂️☂️
Bobi Wine always the best ever
Go you Uganda
May God have mercy on Uganda, change we need.
Uganda’s problem isn’t the leader. It’s rather the mindset of the youths that need to change. Even if we change 10 leaders in a row with the same mindset, nothing will ever change but instead worsen.
Exactly point
museven must goo enough iz enough
M7 has taken the internet off and yet he has brought in voting machines that uses internet. Where is the logical in that but only to steal votes
Exactly.
Lol africa
M7 stop killing innocent Ugandans. M7 is eighty (80) years but killing young Ugandans who are supposed to live freely in their country. Infact M7 should have died years ago but is living in bonuses only to kill young generation! Why are you killing Ugandans???? You can still live even when you leave power stop killing our people Ugandans are not at war with you they just calling you to hear their voices of Freedom grant them their Freedom. Uganda is not your family property! It belongs to Ugandans even if you kill us you will never kill all the 45 million Ugandans!!!!!! So, relax and take a break old dictator
Museveni no change 👍✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅we still need him.
Vote kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert
Museveni is a sociopath. Uganda deserves so much better.
We are watching from Nigeria boby win
I wanted to come to Uganda but this instability makes me think twice about investing there
1:43 Proof covid-19 is fake
We want change

I liked President Museven’s exercise thanks so much u’r still energetic man.
Thanks and God knows
Bobi wine is the new president of Uganda. Museveni is over.
34 years and your country is behind that’s not vision.
We can’t vote someone without a plan,m7 we will vote you
We need change
*I HAVE VOTED THE DICTATOR AGAIN*
Vote Bobi wine
Whoever wins, I always wish the best for Ugandan people. Please choose wisely, Uganda!
Give the youth a chance you had so much time rulling
What we want you is to create jobs for many people in our country we are tired of looking for money in other countries
Only a dictator would rule for 35 straight years.
A key tenet to democracy is a limit of terms and years in office.
End this dictatorship Ugandans 👍
Mussevini will never stand down. He is like Mugabe but arguably worse. Whilst he fought a phoney bush war of his own making ( there is no difference between him and Obote who he dislodged), he didnt have to fight the colonialists with all their resources and power like Mugabe did. He is grooming his son who is now becoming political. Whilst the son denies having political aspirations, the Mussevinis lie about absolutely everything. Its unprecedented. Mussevini has been telling journalists for 30 years that he would stand down next time. A few years back he looked the Al Jazeera interviewer in the eyes and said that there was no conceivable way he would ever stand over the age of 75.
I support M7
I just love you Catherine soi m proud of you,your courage and what you do as a journalist in most dangerous areas such as Central African Republic and Kivu region makes me see you a great role model. may God bless you-Kongoi
We need change in Uganda
Change is coming from today
Bobiwine our only hope for a better Uganda
Museven must go
A vision for 35 years? it is a joke.
We need change in Uganda
Where is Cyril Rhamaposa the “head” of the African union? Every where around the world these grandpas are destroying things for the youth. Politicians need to retire at 65 like all other professions!
The pharaoh of Uganda and god father of mafia gang in Uganda m7 Tibahaburwa, is evil and disgrace to Uganda and Ugandans for 35years he has spent in power he has done more harm than good.
As I we have Lost our relatives and friends, abductions, killings and imprisonment its the order of the.
Even today 14 /01/21 many people have been taken by the military they have been picked from polling station
Some people are just delusional… what kind of vision are you expecting from someone who was ruling for 35 years and did not achieve anything
This report was unbalanced. Where are the other prospectives and presidential candidates?
Museveni out
Can ugadan tell me which of these canditat do the majority of to population prefers and why ? Also who they think is the worst and why, I am not trying to. I’m not trying to take sides, I just want to have the point of view of the people most concerned and who know the best thank you
Bobi wine under attack now
M7 must go😭
O
Museveni must to resign
We a tired of that man

Election Fraud
Bobi wine is beating museveni so high and they will announce museveni instead😭😭😭😭
Our own Catherine Soi….viva 🇰🇪
Museven will never accept the loss.
What has he done ?
How can someone say M7 still have vision after 36 years in power and doing nothing, Africans we are cursed
We need change people already decided en it is even openly seen with the right results not NRM fake results
Extra commentary, I remember the SATAN “Idiot Amin” the DEVIL in FACT, 35 yeas is 35 years TOO LONG Young people VOTE the DICTATOR > OUT vote for DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPERITY VOTE ALL DICTATORSHIPS-PEOPLE >>>OUT OUT OUTTTTTTTTT‼️👍👍👍👍
Museveni has been president for so many years. If he had any vision, it would have been manifest in the lives of the people of Uganda. He should allow others too.
Congratulations to the Ugandan people for having done the right thing to suspend big tech intrusion into their country
Good luck uganda we tired of dictator ship in all Africa god be with you guys is rotten old men young generation they must take over africa
