This shows his commitment to every part of Uganda. I call upon our people to rally massive support behind him come 2026 for the further advancement and development of our district and the nation.”
Echoing this sentiment, NRM District Chairperson Kamilo Olwit highlighted the developmental achievements under President Museveni’s long tenure. “The NRM government under the steadfast leadership of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has delivered unparalleled peace, stability, and progress to Uganda.
