flag Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, 81, seeks a seventh term after removing term and age limits, amid rising human rights concerns and democratic decline.

flag Yoweri Museveni, Uganda’s president since 1986, is running for a seventh term at age 81, having helped remove both term and age limits from the constitution. flag Once criticized for authoritarianism, he now faces scrutiny over suppressed opposition, media crackdowns, and arrests of dissenters like Kizza Besigye and Bobi Wine. flag While his rule brought economic growth, education expansion, and reduced HIV rates, human rights groups report widespread abuses, including violence against protesters and judicial interference. flag Despite international concern, Museveni retains strong backing from the military and ruling party, maintaining power amid growing democratic backsliding.
