Museveni seeks another term as Uganda's president

Uganda's ruling party has nominated President Yoweri Museveni, 80, as its candidate for the 2026 election, potentially extending his four-decade rule. This nomination sets the stage for Museveni to seek another term, despite criticism of his long tenure and accusations of authoritarian rule since he took power in 1986. He has previously amended the constitution to remove term limits. His main challenger is expected to be Bobi Wine, who lost the 2021 election amid allegations of fraud. The election is scheduled for January.
