The Ugandan government has announced the full restoration of internet and social media services.
The services were severely restricted on the eve of January fourteenth election.
The development came as Facebook said it had shut down more than two hundred accounts linked to the ruling party’s campaign.
The social media company alleged that the accounts were seeking to spread misinformation and to manipulate public debate ahead of the highly contested poll.
President Yoweri Museveni at the time accused social media companies of being arrogant and biased.
He secured a sixth term in the election but Bobi Wine is challenging the results in court alleging that there was widespread fraud.
His closest challenger in the polls was musician turned politician Robert Kyagulanyi also known as Bobi Wine, who was four years old when Mr. Museveni seized power in 1986 after waging a guerrilla war.
