Richard Todwong, the party secretary general, said that he was extremely happy that the party chairman once again picked nomination forms to run as the party's presidential flag bearer and chairman. 

Dr. Tanga Odoi, the party's Electoral Commission (EC) chairperson, said President Museveni is the only candidate who expressed interest as the NRM party's Presidential flag bearer and the party's chairperson.

Vice President Jessica Alupo and First Deputy Premier and Minister for East African Community Affairs Rebecca Kadaga welcomed President Museveni as he arrived at the party premises for his nominations.

After picking nomination forms, Museveni said it was the right time for him to offer himself to the party as its chairperson again. 

"I thank the NRM fraternity because whenever I have been going upcountry for PDM, everywhere in public meetings, there have been resolutions passed, and petitions signed requesting me to offer myself to be the chairman of the NRM again," the President said.
President Museveni also promised to fight corruption in the coming term if Ugandans re-elect him, saying, " I want us really to wipe out corruption because this corruption should not be there because we are in charge."
