The National Unity Platform (NUP) has unveiled its 2026–2031 manifesto, outlining eleven policy priorities that the party says will restore hope, dignity, and fairness to Ugandans.
The manifesto, launched in Buwenge, Jinja District, is themed “A New Uganda Now” and focuses on issues such as human rights, ending corruption, and eliminating sectarianism.
Party President and 2026 presidential flag bearer, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, also known as Bobi Wine, described the manifesto as a solemn covenant between the party and Ugandans.
“Fellow citizens, very honored to present to you the National Unity Platform Manifesto, 2026–2031, which we launched in Jinja District today. This is a manifesto born out of extensive consultation with our people. These are not mere promises – this is a covenant we are making with the people of Uganda to give our nation a fresh start. A NEW UGANDA NOW,” Kyagulanyi said.
The eleven policy priorities include:
~ Restoring freedom, constitutionalism, and human rights (including gender equity).
~ Ending corruption and wasteful government expenditure.
~ Consolidating national unity, rebuilding war-torn communities, and eliminating sectarianism.
~ Guaranteeing equal access to quality public services—clean water, healthcare, education, energy, and public infrastructure.
~ Creating 10 million new jobs by 2032 through lowering the cost of doing business and leveraging tourism, manufacturing, sports, and the creative economy.
~ Establishing a public-school feeding program to enhance education outcomes, support a healthy population, transform agriculture, and ensure food security.
~ Stopping land grabbing and guaranteeing secure land rights for all.
~ Empowering regional and local governance through real devolution.
~ Positioning the diaspora as a strategic asset, and strengthening foreign policy for Uganda’s development and global competitiveness.
~ Ensuring sustainable management of natural resources and climate resilience, including climate change detection, adaptation, and mitigation.
~ Transforming Uganda into a tech-driven economy by leveraging technology resources and innovation.
Party leaders emphasized that the document is not only a critique of government failures but also a clear plan to steer the country toward progress.
“Our Commitment: This manifesto is not just a critique of failure; it is a roadmap to reclaim our future. NUP’s leadership is ready and committed to delivering a Uganda that works for everyone, not just a privileged few,” said Joel Ssenyonyi, the party spokesperson.
According to NUP, the manifesto is a call to Ugandans to rally behind their vision for a “New Uganda,” anchored on justice, fairness, and equal opportunity for all.
