KAMPALA, July 6 (Xinhua) — Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni was nominated on Saturday as the ruling party's sole candidate for next year's presidential election.
Museveni, who will seek a seventh consecutive five-year term, was nominated by the National Resistance Movement (NRM) at a conference in the capital, Kampala. Since he is the NRM's only candidate, the party will not hold primaries.
Mr Museveni, 80, said if re-elected he would prioritise six key areas: peace, development, wealth creation, jobs, services and markets.
He also expressed his intention to lift Uganda from lower middle income to upper middle income status by 2040.
“I am ready to contribute in the next five years both as the NDC chairman and as the president,” said Y. Museveni.
Uganda is scheduled to hold general elections in January 2026, with several opposition candidates expected to run. –0–
