President Yoweri Museveni has highlighted six key areas he will emphasize in his seventh term come next year. Museveni who has been President since 1986 said he was ordered by Ugandans not to leave the main road meaning he should stay in power.
“I want to thank the NRM Electoral Commission for nominating me. I hope the whole membership of the NRM and its structures, will support my candidature as the Chairman of the NRM for the 2025-2031 and also as flag-bearer for the NRM in the Presidential contest for the 2026-2031,” Museveni said.
Museveni emerged unopposed as NRM presidential flagbearer and party chairman for the next five years. NRM party electoral committee chairperson said other people who attempted to contest against Museveni did not raise the requirements such as being seconded by at least 100 from each district.
Museveni after being nominated said his government will continue to emphasize the 6 words below in the next term if given the opportunity:
1. Peace- no war and no crime.
2. Development
3. Wealth. Every home must have wealth. It is personal and private.
4. Jobs.
5. Services (health, education, spirituality, hotels, etc).
