President Museveni has pledged to accelerate Uganda’s economic growth and social transformation if re-elected in the 2026 general election.
He made the remarks after being officially nominated as the National Resistance Movement (NRM) presidential candidate for the forthcoming polls.
Museveni thanked party members for what he described as renewed trust in his leadership.
He said the NRM’s record in peace, infrastructure development, and economic progress positioned Uganda for greater achievements in the years ahead.
President Museven highlighted Uganda’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, saying it had nearly doubled in recent years from $34 billion to $66 billion despite global and domestic challenges.
The President attributed Uganda’s progress to investments in peace, electricity, roads, telecommunications, and human capital development.
He said these fundamentals had created a favorable environment for investors, leading to increased foreign direct investment.
