President Yoweri Museveni has officially declared his intention to run for a seventh term in the January 2026 general elections — a move that would extend his rule closer to 50 years. Opponents accuse the regime of suppressing dissent, citing arrests, vote rigging allegations, and restrictions on opposition candidates. In his campaign announcement, Museveni pledged to intensify efforts to fight corruption if re-elected.
