Sejusa claims Besigye won 2006 elections

In a video released on Youtube yesterday, Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF) General David Sejusa has disclosed that Former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) President Kizza Besigye won the elections of 2006 by 69%.Sejusa who was speaking at a Freedom and Unity Front Uganda meeting said "we had our own electoral commission of intelligence at Basiima House.All results from the electoral commission passed through our electoral commission and it is our own results that we would push to the National Electoral Commission." The revelations put a spin on the outcome of that election that was heavily contested between Museveni and Besigye. Sejusa in the video goes on to recommend that Museveni should be taken to the International Criminal Court (ICC) because of participating in the violence in Kenya in 2007.

None of his allegations could be independently verified by the type we pressed this story. General Sejusa fled the country early this year arguing that those opposed to a project to 'install' Brigadier Muhoozi Kainerugaba as the successor to President Museveni have their lives in danger. His letter leaked to the press concerning the same matter led to the closure of some media houses as Government sought to ascertain the authenticity of the letter.
