On Jan. 23, Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Cory Booker (D-NJ), ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health Policy, released a statement saying that “Uganda’s January 15th election was another blow to the pursuit of democracy in the country.”
They cited "attacks on journalists, the jailing of opposition figures, the tear gassing of citizens assembling peacefully, reported abductions of opposition members and candidates, and reports of violence by security forces in the weeks and months leading up to these elections.”
