Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni, who is also the chairman of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), recently launched the update of the party’s voters’ register, sending a strong signal that he will be seeking a seventh term in 2026.

The president renewed his party membership and signed the dummy register to mark the launch of the exercise, in which the party hopes to add more members to the 11 million faithful it has, starting next week.
