Ugandan Opposition leader Kizza Besigye has been 'sworn in' as president, a day before incumbent Yoweri Museveni's inauguration. Heavy security, Opposition protesters arrestedIG Kale Kayihura said heavy security was necessary in Uganda ahead of Museveni's swearing in. "Winner of the 2016 election, after swearing in as the new President of Uganda," the party wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. But police arrested the Opposition leader as he addressed a crowd in Kampala after the ceremony. Besigye, who belongs to the Forum for Democratic Change, was arrested several times after the country's disputed February 18 general election.
