Cameroonian Prime Minister, Yang Philemon,just arrived Kampala-Uganda this Wednesday to represent the head of state, President Paul Biya at the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Yoweri Musseveni, of Uganda.

Yoweri Museveni, won the presidential the disputed presidential election on February 18 in Uganda whch has led the main opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) to announce it will hold an alternative inauguration of opposition candidate Kizza Besigye on Thursday, the same day that President Yoweri Museveni, in office since 1986, will be sworn in for another term.

The electoral commission in Uganda says that President Museveni won the election with 61 percent of the vote but Besigye, the FDC candidate, insists he won the election with 52 percent of the vote. Besigye has been on a campaign of defiance aimed at invalidating what he calls President Museveni's "illegal presidency."

The Ugandan government has banned the local media from covering "live activities" of the FDC party.
