By The ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) has today launched the official portrait of its presidential flagbearer, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, alongside a new campaign theme that will guide the party in the 2025–26 general elections.
At the event, the party’s 1st National Vice Chairman, Al-Hajji Moses Kigongo, described the unveiling as a renewal of NRM’s mandate and a reaffirmation of the values that have sustained the Movement for nearly four decades.

The new campaign theme, “Protecting the Gains as We Make a Qualitative Leap into a High Middle Income Status,” was presented as both a reflection of Uganda’s progress and a blueprint for the next phase of transformation.
“Our journey has not been easy, but through discipline, unity, and the support of Ugandans, we have reached this point. This theme is a call to protect the gains we have made together and to boldly step forward into a future of shared prosperity,” Kigongo said.
He stressed that the theme was not just a slogan but a strategic direction to guide Uganda’s economic and social progress. “We must stand together as a Movement. If we remain united and disciplined, there is no challenge we cannot overcome. This is the spirit in which we ask Ugandans to renew our mandate so that our Chairman continues leading the country to greater heights,” he added.
Kigongo further urged NRM leaders and aspiring candidates to embrace persuasion, humility, and service to the people. “Force cannot win hearts. Convincing language, humility, and respect for the people are what will strengthen the Movement,” he said.
NRM Secretary General Richard Todwong traced the evolution of the party’s guiding messages since 1986, from the 10-Point Programme to themes like “Prosperity for All,” “Steady Progress,” and most recently “Securing Your Future.”
“Today’s theme builds on that legacy. Uganda’s economy is growing at about 7% annually, with a GDP of nearly $45 billion, placing us firmly on the path to middle income status. The task now is to protect those gains and make the qualitative leap into a higher middle-income economy,” Todwong explained.
The unveiling marks the official start of the NRM’s preparations for the 2026 elections, with President Museveni once again positioned as the party’s candidate.
