Other pictures show enthusiastic dancers, members of the police force as well as the armed forces band. The ceremony which took place during in Kampala, was the sixth time Museveni has been sworn in as president, having been in power for over thirty years. He came to power after a five-year guerrilla rebellion in protest against the outcome of the 1980 general elections and has been immovable since then. The opposition party, Forum for Democratic Change or FDC have claimed there was fraud in the February 18 elections and that the process was not free and fair.
