The do has been dubbed “double celebration” because theey are celebrating President Yoweri Museveni’s victory to lead the country for another five years. By the end of the current term, Museveni will have led the country for 35 years.  They are also celebrating the Supreme Court ruling to uphold the election results. Candidate Amama Mbabazi had contested the results but court threw out the petition.
