Museveni's ultimate victory is not really considered in doubt by analysts, given how long he's been in power and his control of institutions in the country.
But the election does come at a critical time.
There's been a lot of talk in recent years about his possible succession and whether he might be preparing his son, who's the military chief, to possibly take over for him.
So Museveni will want to put in a strong performance in this election to reassert his political power.
Uganda is an extremely young country where more than 70% of the country is under the age of 30.
There's a relative lack of economic opportunity and employment for young people.
And many of these young people have rallied around the candidacy of Bobby Wine, who was 43 years old himself.
He was charismatic, grew up in the slums of Kampala.
He rose to fame as a pop star in the 2000s.
Many of his songs deal with social and political topics, talking about urban poverty and political oppression.
And then he parlayed that popularity into a political career, first running to join parliament in 2017, and then very quickly becoming the most popular figure in the opposition and running for president in 2021.
This has created a lot of support for him.
And when his supporters come out to rallies, when they show up in the streets, they often face tear gas, sometimes live bullets, pepper spray, etc.
And this has led to a lot of tension, a lot of anger.
And in the last election in 2021, there was considerable violence in the lead up to the vote.

Well, first, I'm going to say, I think when you're young and you haven't done it, or maybe a new entrepreneur, raising money sounds really cool.
And then you do it, and you're like, fuck.
This sucks.
This can't.
But I think raising money can be fantastic for the right companies at the right time for the right reason.
