President Museveni told a crowd in Kyotera that his party earns votes through actual results, not just talk. Campaigning for the 2026 election, he presented the NRM manifesto at a rally as proof of decades of work. He stated his party avoids empty pledges, focusing instead on concrete achievements.
He outlined what he called the NRM's main contributions. The first was securing decades of national peace by moving past divisive politics. Next, he pointed to infrastructure like the paved roads connecting Masaka, Bukakata, and Sembabule, promising more work on routes such as the one from Kyotera to Mutukula. On the economy, he argued his government shifted Uganda from subsistence farming to commercial production through programs like Operation Wealth Creation and the Parish Development Model.
Museveni differentiated between government jobs and private sector employment, emphasizing the latter for growth. He mentioned a Kamuli farmer selling eggs and hiring hundreds as an example. He also highlighted industrial parks in Sino Mbale and Namanve that employ thousands, pledging a new park at Lukoma field and more youth skill hubs.
At the event, he gave party flags to local NRM candidates. Speaker of Parliament Anita Among thanked the area for its support, attributing local road projects to the government, not opposition figures. Other party leaders, including Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo and local chairman Kalemba Christopher, praised grassroots mobilization and specific anti-poverty programs. The rally served as a platform to frame the upcoming election around the party's record on building roads, creating jobs, and raising incomes.
