Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni will on Thursday drive from his rural home to the capital, Kampala, making various stops in major towns.

The president's victory lap comes amid calls for the government to lift the house arrest of opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, the pop star-turned politician popularly known as Bobi Wine, who has rejected the election results.
The US has called for a probe into allegations of election irregularities by the opposition, which have yet to file a petition.
The opposition's offices were raided by the military and party officials say the material they were gathering for the petition was confiscated.
