President Yoweri Museveni has vowed to personally address disputes arising from the National Resistance Movement (NRM) primaries and concerns from disgruntled independents, saying all cases will be resolved “systematically and based on facts.”

Campaigning in Kaliro District on Tuesday alongside First Lady Maama Janet Museveni, the President said the party could not afford confusion over flag bearers ahead of the 2026 general elections.

Senior NRM leaders, including Al-Hajji Moses Kigongo, Secretary General Richard Todwong, and others accompanied him.

Museveni cited the recent Namutumba case, where an earlier winner was overturned after an appeal produced compelling evidence.

“When I reviewed the facts, it was clear there was a problem. I asked my lawyers to check, and we found a mistake. It was easy to cancel the previous declaration,” he said.

He stressed that the NRM’s internal electoral processes are transparent, with candidates’ agents, security personnel, and the public present during vote counting.

“If we count when everyone is there and someone goes and changes results, that person is foolish. We can cross-check everything,” he warned.

The President urged discipline in the ongoing campaigns, insisting he would personally handle disputed cases.

He said any official—whether an aspirant or sitting MP—found tampering with results would face arrest.

“Even if he is already a Member of Parliament, bring the facts. We shall arrest him and take him to jail,” he said.
