President Museveni participated in the NRM party elections in his home village, Nshwewerenkye. He helped check voter lists during the grassroots vote to pick local leaders for his ruling party. The village polls ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. across Uganda as part of early work for the 2026 national elections.
Museveni called these small elections important because they build strong teams at every level. He asked all party members to show up at polling places throughout the country. His wife, Janet, also voted nearby in Irenga village, Ntungamo. The NRM party has led Uganda since 1986 after winning power through armed struggle. Most people expect Museveni will run again next year, aiming to extend his almost 40 years as president.
