President Museveni has defended the NRM strong showing in the recently concluded elections, citing long-term development programs and government achievements while accusing opposition parties of systemic electoral cheating.
In a statement issued yesterday, the President hailed the nearly concluded elections—including presidential, parliamentary and local government, describing the campaign atmosphere as “celebratory and consultative, with whole community turn-ups—the elderly, the youth and the children.”
Mr. Museveni recalled past electoral reforms, including the introduction of open-line voting in the 1990s, which he said eliminated widespread ballot stuffing, multiple voting, and under-age participation. The President specifically accused the National Unity Platform of manipulating votes in the 2021 polls. END
