Museveni to run 7th term
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has sought nomination for a seventh term, extending his nearly 40-year rule.
At 80 years old, Museveni faces opposition from popular entertainer-turned-politician Bobi Wine ahead of the January 2026 elections.
The political environment is marked by arrests of opposition figures and concerns over democratic backsliding following the removal of presidential age limits.
Museveni’s son has expressed interest in succeeding him, raising fears of hereditary rule.
Uganda has yet to experience a peaceful transfer of power since independence in 1962.
