Opis

This book examines Uganda’s 2016 elections, asking whether incumbent President Yoweri Museveni’s overwhelming victory was only an outcome of patronage, coercion and electoral fraud, or whether other factors were also at play. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Eastern African Studies.
