The National Resistance Movement (NRM) party leaders in Kayunga District have endorsed President Museveni to contest for presidency in 2026.
The leaders endorsed President Museveni on Sunday during Mr. Moses Karangwa’s lavish Shs1bn wedding celebration.
NRM leaders used the ceremony to endorse Museveni’s 2026 presidential bid by adding their signatures to the “Muzeeyi Tova ku Main” campaign.
While making her remarks, Hadijah Namyalo a senior presidential advisor and head of the office of the national chairman, NRM said president Museveni is NRM’s “Owen Falls Dam” and Gen.
Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the first son is the “Standby Generator”.
“When President Museveni who is our Owen falls dam goes off we shall switch on Gen. Muhoozi, who is our standby generator,” Ms Namyalo said amidst ululations from supporters of both Gen.
At the function, supporters of President Museveni and those of Gen Muhoozi sat in separate camps and each chanted slogans in support of their leaders.
“When we say Muzeeyi Tova ku Main, we mean that President should be on the ballot in 2026,” Ms Namyalo added.
Yoweri Museveni, 78, has been the president of Uganda since January 1986.
He was re-elected in January 2021 for a sixth term after a contested campaign.
A Supreme Court ruling to abolish an age ceiling of 75 allowed him to stand once again and continue serving.
