Alliance for National Transformation presidential candidate Mugisha Muntu received Electoral Commission nomination for Uganda's 2026 general elections. The retired major general called upon governing authorities to exercise fair treatment toward political opposition members. Muntu emphasized that political power remains temporary and urged leaders to consider future role reversals.

The former army commander highlighted systematic persecution through arbitrary arrests and extended detentions of opposition figures. Muntu referenced Forum for Democratic Change leader Kizza Besigye's prolonged incarceration beyond mandatory bail periods as evidence of selective justice. He stressed that Uganda requires institutions stronger than individual leaders to maintain national stability.

The ANT flagbearer warned against legal system manipulation for political purposes. Muntu argued that such practices create dangerous precedents that threaten democratic foundations and long-term national security.
