Ugandan opposition presidential candidate Bobi Wine said on Tuesday that soldiers raided his home and arrested his security guards, two days before elections. "The army has this morning raided my home, arrested all my security guards and anyone they could see around my premises," Wine, who is the opposition frontrunner, said on Twitter. On Thursday Ugandans will vote in a general election after a campaign marked by violence which has killed dozens of people. The 76-year-old faces 10 challengers, most notably the pop star-turned-politician Bobi Wine. Human rights groups have accused security forces of using excessive force to break up opposition rallies during the campaign.
