President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who is also the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Presidential flag bearer in the forthcoming 2026 general elections, promised to address the long-standing problem of poor road infrastructure in Zombo District and to further expand other economic and social facilities in the area.

The President, accompanied by the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Maama Janet Kataaha Museveni, pledged on Saturday 11th, October 2025, while addressing a campaign rally at Zombo Upper Primary School playground. The rally drew thousands of residents from across the district and surrounding areas as the NRM leader sought to consolidate support in the West Nile sub-region.

President Museveni told the cheering crowd that his government has already made concrete plans to rehabilitate and upgrade the main road network in Zombo, saying the project will commence next year.
