The NRM stalwarts launching the election roadmap for 2025-26 at the Movement party offices along Kyadondo Road recently

HABARI DAILY I Kampala, Uganda I

The National Resistance Movement (NRM) held its internal elections today, to choose party flag bearers that will represent it in the 2026 parliamentary polls. Voter participation was superb, as the party’s mobilisation machinery reached every village, town and city to mop up support for individual contestants.

These elections were so crucial to both the party and the country due to the fact that NRM is currently the ruling party, a force to reckon with in Ugandan politics, and has been in power for the last 40 years.

Whoever went through during these primary elections has a 70% chance of becoming the next MP of that respective area. This is because the NRM has a huge mobilisation machinery and extend financial support to individual contestants who have gone through the primaries.

Habari Daily has the previlage of bringing you a partial list of both the winners and losers in these internal elections.
