Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The National Resistance Movement (NRM) party youth leaders from Bukedi have endorsed Uganda\u2019s near four-decade leader to contest for presidency in 2026.<\/p>\n

The leaders endorsed Mr Museveni on Sunday during a youth summit organized by the Eastern region Youth Member of Parliament Bernard Odoi Onen at the peak of the Tororo rock.<\/p>\n

On November 13, the parliamentarian led several youths as they climbed the rock to demonstrate the journey President Museveni trekked from Garamba to Mirembe to liberate Uganda.<\/p>\n

While moving the motion Onen said he organized the event \u201cfollowing pressure from the leaders across the region asking why he was not leading young people to endorse Mr Museveni.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, take note that Uganda will be built on the dreams of the young people and I’m here to challenge you to dream big,” Onen said.<\/p>\n

He told this publication that the Bukedi NRM youth chapter still sees Mr Museveni as a strong and capable leader to solve the country’s pressing challenges.<\/p>\n

Budaka District youth council finance secretary Babra Namisi called on government to reform existing poverty alleviation programs to form the Youth Livelihood Program.<\/p>\n

She argues that most programs such as the Parish Development Model (PDM) do not provide specific intervention for youth who comprise majority of Uganda\u2019s millions of unemployed people.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany youths are still struggling with unemployment and this challenge can be solved by only an experienced leader who is President Museveni,” said.<\/p>\n

For Butaleja female youth leader Caroline Nawetene, backing President Museveni for another 5-year term is to safeguard the country\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n

However, Pallisa District youth vice chairperson John Apedo wants President Museveni to increase the number of young people in his cabinet.<\/p>\n

Meantime, several youth leaders in the area also shunned the event for undisclosed reasons.<\/p>\n

President Museveni\u2019s current term runs from 2021-2026 when the nation is expected to hold the next general election.<\/p>\n
