Abstract
Significance The polls were marked by repeated arrests of opposition candidates and clashes in the capital, Kampala, in which two people died. Impacts The government's 2.5-billion-dollar deal to develop oil infrastructure with Russia's RT Global Resources will hasten oil sector development. Dips in global tea and coffee prices will worsen government revenue shortfalls, increasing Uganda's reliance on donor support. Ceasing to help mediate in the Burundi crisis may diminish Museveni's reputation as a regional 'elder statesman'. The state 'New Vision' newspaper's claims that the FDC is foreign-backed aims to warn Western critics against applying 'excessive' pressure.
