Ugandans began voting in a tense election Thursday under heavy security and an internet blackout as veteran leader Yoweri Museveni pursues a sixth term against a former pop star half his age.
The internet went down on the eve of the vote, with some parts of the country reporting complete disruptions or significant slowdowns, after one of the most violent election campaigns in years.
Voting was delayed in several locations in the capital Kampala, beginning about half an hour after the official starting time of 7am (0400 GMT), and will continue until 4pm (1200 GMT).

Once hailed for his commitment to good governance, Museveni has crushed any opposition and tweaked the constitution to allow himself to run again and again.
The rise of opposition frontrunner Bobi Wine has rattled Museveni, and fuelled fears he will do whatever it takes to hold onto power.
