Uganda's Electoral Commission approved Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu for the 2026 presidential race after verifying his supporters signatures. Justice Simon Byabakama issued the certification on September 19 following the National Unity Platform's weekend resubmission. The candidate satisfied legal requirements by gathering 100 registered voters from at least two-thirds of the country's districts. Officials scheduled Kyagulanyi's nomination appearance for Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. The party secured rally permits for Katwe and Kaala venues while paying the required 20 million shilling fee.

Electoral authorities banned processions to nomination venues and restricted each candidate to two accompanying persons. Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya declared the verification outcome a victory for party supporters. The commission initially rejected portions of the candidate's first signature submission before accepting the revised documentation. Political analysts believe the clearance process energized opposition supporters who witnessed the administrative challenges. Campaign officials plan to launch their election effort immediately after completing nomination procedures.
