President Yoweri Museveni has officially taken a step toward the 2026 General Election by picking his nomination forms.
A delegation from the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), led by First National Vice Chairperson Hajji Moses Kigongo and Secretary General Richard Todwong, collected the forms on behalf of the incumbent president from the Electoral Commission in Kampala.
This move signals Museveni’s intention to seek another term in office, extending his long tenure as Uganda’s head of state.
With this action, he joins a growing list of aspirants vying for the presidency in the upcoming elections.
The collection of nomination forms marks the formal start of the election process, as candidates must submit these forms to confirm their participation in the 2026 race.
Details on Museveni’s campaign plans and the official submission of the forms are expected in the coming days, as the political landscape begins to take shape ahead of the elections.
