Bobi Wine - Could Uganda's pop star turned politician ever be president?

By Sky News

The country's recent election saw President Yoweri Museveni extend his 35-year grip on power, winning a sixth term in office.

Uganda has one of the youngest populations in the world.

There is frustration over the economy and a lack of future prospects, particularly among the under 30s.

So is a shift in power coming?

On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast we hear from challenger Bobi Wine about the intimidation he and his team faced during the election campaign.

Plus, host Dermot Murnaghan talks to our Africa correspondent John Sparks about the country's political history and current situation, and shares his own experience of reporting in the country after running for cover when soldiers pointed guns at him.
