Uganda’s President Museveni confirms bid to extend nearly 40-year rule

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, 80, has confirmed he will run in next year’s election, aiming to extend his nearly 40-year rule.

His National Resistance Movement (NRM) removed term and age limits to keep him in power.

Critics accuse Museveni of suppressing dissent and using security forces to maintain control.

Opposition leader Bobi Wine plans to run again after rejecting the 2021 results as fraudulent, Al-Jazeera has reported.

Tensions remain high, especially after a new law allowed military courts to try civilians—a move rights groups say is meant to silence critics.
