KAMPALA taz the Election Commission had announced the results Badru Kiggundu, he warned, no one else did except the Election Commission the authority to announce results - a sideswipe against Besigye opposition alliance IPC.

This has tried in vain to make their own projections, because it does not trust the election commission. In a secret headquarters ider capital Kampala IPC began after the polls closed on Friday evening, include the results independently together. SMS IPC election observers sent from the 24,000 polling stations irhe results. But then broke down the SMS system. IPC accuses the government of the lines have to cut.

The last IPC projection, using data from 5,000 polling stations, says that Museveni 62 percent; Besigye percent 33rd Even before the Commission announced the official result, Besigye said he would not accept the result and announced "actions" to "due to the constitutional path" the country. Whether he will call for mass protests, he is still silent about it.

How will he achieve that, he wants to talk about it yet. His alliance with religious leaders will and civil society advice on how to "this illegitimate government can put an end". Whether he will call for mass protests

as they take place in North Africa at present, he is still silent about it.

But it is prepared the regime. In Kampala, police officers are stationed on every street corner. Hundreds of soldiers marched through the city, loaded with tents, backpacks and water cans. Anyone can see: the soldiers are ready for long duration. "Why it has a popular government that obtains more than 70 percent needed to take these measures?" Railed Besigye.
