NRM Sets Course for 2026 Elections with Major Delegates Conference at Kololo
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) has unveiled its strategic roadmap ahead of the 2026 general elections, beginning with a landmark National Delegates Conference scheduled for August 27โ28, 2025, at Kololo Independence Grounds in Kampala, Uganda.
According to NRM Secretary General Richard Todwong, the two-day conference will be a defining milestone in shaping the partyโs internal structures and national election strategy. One of the key items on the agenda is the anticipated endorsement of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni as party chairman and flag bearer.
โThis is a strategic milestone in preparing for the next election cycle,โ Todwong stated, emphasizing the role of internal cohesion and mobilization.
Key Pre-Conference Activities:
- August 20โ22: Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting
- August 23: National Executive Council (NEC) session
- August 25: Special elective conference for NRM Special Interest Groups
The main conference will bring together a wide range of delegates, including Members of Parliament, district chairpersons, flag bearers, and representatives from various party leaguesโnamely Youth, Women, Workers, Elders, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), Entrepreneurs, and Veteransโas well as diaspora officials. Up to 20 observers, personally nominated by President Museveni in his role as party chairman, will also be in attendance.
A significant agenda item will be the election of new members to the Central Executive Committee, expected to result in a leadership reshuffle aimed at revitalizing the partyโs internal dynamics ahead of the national elections.
While the endorsement of President Museveni continues to be a subject of public discourse, the NRM maintains that the Kololo gathering is a vital platform to unify the party base, renew grassroots momentum, and align leadership structures.
As Uganda approaches a critical political season, the outcomes of the NRM National Delegates Conference may provide early indicators of the ruling partyโs approach to 2026โfocusing on consolidation, continuity, and calculated internal restructuring.
