"If he (Mugabe) loses elections he must go. How can you stay without winning elections? It's impossible," President Museveni sharing his views on the crisis in Zimbabwe on the BBC's Network Africa program. This negatively compares to his own comments during the 2006 presidential elections where he reportedly said "revolutionaries do not leave (state) power like chicken thieves", a statement clearly indicating that he would not leave power once he loses the popular vote.
After President Museveni holding onto power for over 21 years and claiming nobody else has a vision to lead the nation, there would be no need to have a flawed election if people elected you. There would also be no need to change the country's constitution to scrap presidential term limits just before the election date.
Leaders in Africa have to realize the true meaning of democracy. Their governments should genuinely be elected by the people, run by the people's views and for improving the people's lives. That way, President Museveni's statement would hold perfectly, "As long as the people are elected, I don’t really think the issue of who leads is crucial"
