The National Resistance Movement (NRM) has handed the party flag to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to lead the party’s bid for another term in office, 2026-2031.
The flag was handed to President Museveni by the NRM First National Vice Chairperson Alhaji Moses Kigongo as he rallied the electorate to support the best choice for Uganda’s continuity.
This was during President Museveni’s maiden campaign rally at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on Tuesday after his nomination by the Electoral Commission to run for Presidency in the 2026 general elections.
Alhaji Kigongo asked NRM party supporters to shun independent candidates who emerged after losing the party primaries.
Addressing his supporters, President Museveni, the NRM Presidential flag bearer 2026- 2031 revealed that his next term of office will focus on full integration of the remaining 32% of the populace into the money economy as a last mile delivery on wealth creation at household level. He said this will be done through the vast socio-economic empowerment schemes.
The President explained how the NRM government is deliberately reducing peasantry, citing the drastic reduction from 68% to 32% of households outside the money economy in the last 12 years.
He also commended his nominators, seconder and the NRM fraternity for supporting his candidature.
