Museveni has emphasized his commitment to transforming Uganda into a "high middle income country," but his critics express skepticism about the political climate that has seen significant suppression of dissent.
In announcing his candidacy at the National Resistance Movement (NRM) conference, Museveni articulated his vision of stability and growth, reflecting on historical economic achievements while warning against missing opportunities for future progress. He pointed to other countries in Asia as examples, asserting that Uganda could achieve similar advancements despite its own resource constraints.
Bobi Wine, a popular opposition figure, is anticipated to challenge Museveni again, while Besigye remains in detention, labeled a political prisoner by his supporters. The upcoming election is set for January.
As Uganda prepares for a potentially contentious political season, questions linger about the country’s democratic integrity and the future direction under Museveni's continued leadership.
