On Wednesday Uganda entered the final day of campaigning in elections that will likely secure another term for President Yoweri Museveni, already the longest-serving leader in the region. Attention is already shifting to the immediate post-poll period, with the presidents’ main rival Kizza Besigye vowing to conduct his own tally of the votes. Besigye has claimed only rigging could deprive him of victory and warned that Uganda was ripe for an Egypt-style revolt, saying last week, ‘The brutality of the state represses people until they explode. And once they explode no amount of brutality can stop them.’ Most observers believe a lack of Internet-based activists in Uganda undermines parallels with the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt. However, praise God, at a prayer rally organised by the Inter-Religious Council of Uganda (IRCU) presidential candidates pledged to strive for a violence-free election. The leaders also committed to accept the poll's outcome and find constitutional ways to address any disputes. See 

 Pray: that the church in Uganda would succeed in holding political leaders accountable to their commitment made before God. (Mic. 2:1)
