President Yoweri Museveni filed paperwork Saturday to run for another term as Uganda's leader. The 80-year-old politician wants to continue his four-decade hold on power through the 2026 elections. He collected nomination forms at the National Resistance Movement party headquarters in Kampala. His wife and other party officials joined him for the formal announcement. Museveni seeks both the presidential nomination and the party chairman position.

The veteran leader said citizens across Uganda asked him to run again during his travels. He told supporters that people passed resolutions and signed petitions requesting his candidacy. Museveni stated he delayed his decision until the proper moment arrived. He believes Uganda has made significant progress since he took control in 1986. The president outlined five development stages the country has completed under his leadership.

Museveni wants Uganda to achieve a 500 billion dollar economy within five years. He promises to eliminate corruption that has hurt the nation's growth. The president blamed voters for allowing corrupt officials to stay in office. He urged citizens to choose better representatives who will monitor government programs. Museveni said people should elect leaders who understand party values rather than accept bribes for votes.
