As Uganda gears up for the 2026 General Elections, President Yoweri Museveni is poised to formalise his candidacy for the position of National Chairman of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and the party’s presidential flag bearer.
His nomination is scheduled for Saturday, 5th July 2025, at the NRM Electoral offices, following a series of comprehensive wealth creation tours across the country centred around the Parish Development Model (PDM).
During these extensive tours, covering the 18 zones throughout the nation, local leaders and community members overwhelmingly urged President Museveni to continue in his leadership role as President and Commander-in-Chief.
Many expressed a strong desire for continuity in leadership, emphasising the stability and progress that has characterised Museveni’s administration since he first took office in 1986.
In compliance with the NRM Electoral Commission’s requirements, all aspiring candidates for the position of Party Chairman & Presidential flag bearer are obliged to gather a minimum of 100 endorsement signatures from members of the National Conference in different regions.
As the NRM prepares for the nomination, there exists a strong sense of anticipation surrounding Museveni’s acceptance, which is expected to lay the groundwork for a vigorous electoral campaign.
