HC Deb 20 May 1996 vol 278 c59W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made on the recent elections in Uganda; and if he will make a statement. [29896]

Mr. Hanley

International observers have concluded that the presidential elections, which were won by President Museveni with 72.4 per cent. of the vote, were carried out in a transparent manner and in accordance with the interim election statute and that the result reflects the polling process. We welcome this further step in Uganda's constitutional development.
