“We, as NRM, have unanimously agreed that President Kaguta Museveni will become our flag bearer in 2026 and beyond. What soul-searching do you want us to do?” – Barnabas Tinkasiimire MP (07.04.2025).
The reality is here and now they are open about it. The National Resistance Movement (NRM) are now mentally preparing for yet another term of President Museveni. Not like that is breaking news, as his been in office since January 1986. This is just a scheduled programming and default setting. The whole state and authorities are just preparing for ordinary general elections in 2026, and the results could just be printed tomorrow.
Nothing is new under the sun. Museveni running again… that is just what we all expect. We know the NRM and their leaders will act like they will have primaries or whatnot. However, the results are already there, and the Presidency was ringfenced in the bush.
“Whether the Opposition has a credible candidate or not, we in NRM have a heavyweight candidate (Museveni) He is much better than whoever he has ever stood against” (Tinkasmiire, 07.04.2025).
Tinkasmiire MP is just fishing for relevance and proving his loyalty to the State House. His not a wilding out or speaking out of terms. This here is just kissing the ring. He is just proving that his one of them and wants to be acknowledged for it. The MP is just showing the inner circle that they can depend on him and wants to keep him after the 2026 elections.
The NRM will do their dance and act like they have a Presidential Primary. Nevertheless, there is no competition, and no one will really stand for this role. As we seen how Gilbert Bukenya and Amama Mbabazi was treated for doing so. Also, how Henry Tumukunde was beaten for doing it too. Therefore, the whole party has to follow in line and just act accordingly to the correct line. That’s it.
No one will challenge Museveni and everyone in their right minds knows this. He wouldn’t have changed the Constitution twice for selfish reasons. A man that is willing to do that for himself personally. He won’t make a transition or change the Head of State. Museveni will die in office. That’s the only way his leaving the office. An election won’t do it and we all know it. Peace.
