Troops Deployed for Uganda Election

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has urged citizens to vote in the country's general election on Thursday. The call comes as soldiers appear on streets across the nation to provide security for the polls. This military deployment has caused concern among opposition leaders. They fear the soldiers' presence could intimidate voters and disrupt a fair electoral process. President Museveni, who has been in power since 1986, is running for a sixth term. The election is seen as a key test in the East African nation.
