The latest figures reflect votes counted from 30,138 polling stations across the country, representing a significant portion of the electorate.
As of the update, Museveni has secured 5,148,845 votes, equivalent to 75.38 percent of the 6,830,089 valid votes tallied so far.
The results show that the president remains firmly ahead of his main challenger, opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, who has so far garnered 1,414,619 votes, representing 20.71 percent of the votes counted.
Electoral officials cautioned that these numbers are still preliminary and do not represent the final outcome, as counting continues in several regions.
Nevertheless, the trend indicates a significant margin between the two leading candidates.
Observers note that Museveni’s continued popularity in rural areas has contributed to his strong performance in the early stages of vote counting.
Bobi Wine, representing the National Unity Platform (NUP), has built his campaign around calls for reform, youth empowerment, and social justice.
While his support remains strong in urban centers and among younger voters, the preliminary results show a large gap between him and the incumbent president.
The Electoral Commission has urged Ugandans to remain patient as the final results are compiled.
Authorities also appealed for calm and discouraged speculation or the spread of unverified figures that could cause confusion or tension.
