President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) National Chairperson and party flagbearer for the 2026 presidential elections, on Tuesday, December 2, 2025 intensified his campaign drive with a major rally in Sheema District, where he defended the NRM’s record on peace, unity, development, and wealth creation while unveiling a range of new pledges for the district and wider country.

In his address to the thousands of enthusiastic supporters who filled the Kabwohe Playground grounds, President Museveni who was accompanied by the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Maama Janet Kataaha, placed significant emphasis on the NRM’s enduring theme of peace and unity, arguing that Uganda’s transformation from instability to economic progress is rooted in the elimination of sectarian politics and the creation of a national army built on patriotism rather than tribal or religious lines.
