Uganda's ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) has officially endorsed President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni as its unopposed candidate for the party chairperson and presidential flag bearer positions ahead of the 2026 general elections. The NRM Electoral Commission confirmed Museveni's nomination, solidifying his bid to continue leading the country. Despite the party's internal challenges and perceptions of weakness, key figures within NRM emphasize Museveni's strength, largely attributed to support from security personnel. Opposition parties remain fragmented and disorganized, with some describing the National Unity Platform (NUP) as a temporary wave in Uganda's democratic landscape. Campaign activities have faced disruptions, including violent clashes in Isingiro South Constituency that resulted in ten arrests and property damage, as well as a break-in and alleged theft of voter registers at NRM offices in Rwampara District, causing suspension of campaign efforts there. In Kampala, sixteen individuals were arrested for allegedly plotting to disrupt peace during Museveni's nomination event. Concerns have been raised over low citizen participation and disorganization in the electoral process as the country approaches the 2026 polls. Prominent voices call for political sanity and non-hostile engagement despite disagreements, highlighting the importance of elections in capturing power. The ongoing developments underscore the challenges facing Uganda's political environment as Museveni seeks to extend his rule beyond four decades.
