President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) presidential flag bearer, on November 24, 2025, pledged to strengthen peace, improve key road networks and deepen household income initiatives in Rubanda District.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Rubanda, the President said the NRM’s 2026–2031 Manifesto will focus on the continuation of Uganda’s journey of peace, development, and prosperity for all Ugandans. He told residents that communities in Kisoro and Rubanda understand the value of stability because of their proximity to conflict-affected areas in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
