Kampala, Uganda – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, in his capacity as NRM Party Chairperson, has announced that state agencies have taken decisive action against individuals accused of compromising the party’s recent primary elections.

Security forces have so far arrested eight suspects from Mayuge, Buyende, Kapchorwa, Pader, Oyam, Rwampara, and Mbarara districts for allegedly tampering with election results during the tallying process.
To address electoral grievances, the President established a high-powered legal committee while warning that more arrests are imminent as investigations progress.
He called on citizens to report any evidence of electoral offenses, particularly violence, bribery, and voter register interference, as the NRM faces increased scrutiny ahead of Uganda’s 2026 general elections.
Museveni emphasized that the ongoing crackdown serves dual purposes: to purify the party and safeguard national interests.
He reminded members of the NRM’s liberation heritage rooted in the National Resistance Army (NRA) and FRONASA movements, noting the party was built on martyrs’ sacrifices rather than personal gain.
The anti-corruption drive has drawn mixed reactions nationwide, with party supporters hailing it as a necessary step toward transparency, while critics question whether the measures will extend to high-ranking officials implicated in irregularities.
