Museveni NRM sixth elected term 2021-2026

UGA·2021 – 2026·National Resistance Movement (NRM)
Leaders: Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (President, NRM) · Robinah Nabbanja (Prime Minister, 2021-) · Matia Kasaija (Finance Minister) · Ruth Nankabirwa Ssentamu (Energy and Mineral Development Minister)

Doctrine — stated goals and content

Museveni's 2021-2026 term continued the NRM's long-running developmental and security-state model: parish-level poverty-reduction finance, state-backed oil development around Lake Albert, and tight political and social control. The governing coalition framed the programme as wealth creation and sovereign resource development while using coercive legal instruments against opposition and LGBT communities.
