Ugandan President Museveni Seeks Seventh Term Amid Criticism

Ugandan President Museveni, aged 81, is pursuing a seventh term in office after ruling since 1986. Despite initial praise for his governance, Museveni faces allegations of corruption and a decline in democratic values.

Critics argue that his promises have faded, replaced by widespread corruption and tightening authoritarian control. Museveni has won six presidential elections amid accusations of vote rigging and intimidation.

His government has been commended for its role in various regional peacekeeping missions but faces internal challenges of corruption and poor public services.
