The Ugandan government has released the official programme for the swearing-in ceremony of President Yoweri Museveni, scheduled for May 12, 2026, following his victory in the country’s January 15 presidential election.
According to Alan Kasujja, the inauguration will take place at the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds under the theme, “Protecting the Gains, Making a Qualitative Leap into High Middle-Income Status.”
Museveni secured re-election with 7,946,772 votes, representing 71.65 percent of valid ballots cast. His main challenger, opposition leader and musician Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, received 24.72 percent of the vote.
Reports indicate that Bobi Wine fled the country following alleged threats after the election.
At 82 years old, Museveni remains one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, having governed Uganda since taking power through an armed rebellion in January 1986. His upcoming inauguration will officially mark the beginning of his seventh term in office.
