Although Kampa- la was peaceful on Wednesday, riots were reported in the eastern town of Jinja, on Lake Victoria. Hundreds at- tended a special Mass in Uganda’s main Ro- man Catholic cathedral to pray for Ssentamu’s safety and that of other detained lawmakers. “He isn’t supposed to be locked up. He’s sup- posed to be in hospital,” Ssentamu’s wife told the gathering. Religious leaders have condemned the vi- olence “in which lives are lost, people are bar- barically arrested and tortured and property destroyed.” In a statement late Wednesday, Museveni accused “unprincipled politicians” of luring youth into rioting. Re- sponding to calls on so- cial media to #FreeBo- biWine, the president said he had no power to release Ssentamu. “Let us therefore wait for the courts and see what they decide.” The lawmaker has quickly become popu- lar with Uganda’s most- ly young population. Candidates whom he has campaigned for have defeated both the ruling party and estab- lished opposition par- ties. Some of his follow- ers urge him to run for president. “He is a constant thorn in the flesh of Musev- eni,” said Rikki Stein, former manager for musician Fela Kuti, who said he met Ssentamu a couple of weeks ago and organized the open let- ter by musicians. “Everybody respond- ed literally immediate- ly, horrified by what is taking place,” Stein said. “We’re hoping to make enough noise to get (Ssentamu) out.” Museveni, a U.S. ally on regional security, took power by force in 1986 and has since been elected five times. Although he has cam- paigned on his record of establishing peace and stability, some worry that those gains are be- ing eroded the longer he stays in power. The 74-year-old Mu- seveni is now able to seek re-election in 2021 because parliament passed legislation last year removing a clause in the constitution that had prevented anyone over 75 from holding the presidency. Ssentamu publicly opposed that decision. Associated Press writer Cara Anna in Johannes- burg contributed.

In Florida, Gillum de- feated four other Dem- ocrats — none of them black — on Tuesday. While his campaign was outspent, Gillum was backed by millions of dollars in independent spending by Tom Stey- er and George Soros, among the wealthiest supporters of liberal causes. Gillum pre- vailed in a state where blacks are about one- sixth of the popula- tion.
