__________________

On Wednesday, November 26, 2025, the presidential campaigns intensified as candidates traversed the country in the lead-up to the upcoming general elections.

President Yoweri Museveni (NRM) campaigned in Kanungu and Rukungiri, announcing a special fertiliser fund for tea farmers and emphasising peace as a cornerstone of NRM’s legacy. FDC’s James Nandala Mafabi launched Buganda-region rallies in Luwero, where Nakasongola voters pressed for compensation for cattle lost during the bush war. In Buikwe, NUP’s Robert Kyagulanyi attracted enthusiastic supporters, later addressing supporters at Buwooya playground. ANT’s Maj. Gen. (Rtd) Mugisha Muntu rallied in Butaleja, pledging to uplift household incomes through agriculture while criticising money lenders and the limitations of the PDM, promoting the Agricultural Credit Facility instead.

Vision Group journalists were on the ground, capturing every moment of the day’s developments.

President Yoweri Museveni, the NRM presidential flag bearer, campaigned in Kanungu and Rukungiri.

In Kanungu, he announced a government plan to establish a special fund to help tea farmers access affordable fertilisers. Museveni also reminded residents that peace remains the first of the NRM’s seven core contributions—something especially appreciated by communities near the Congo border.

He emphasised that Uganda has secured its peace without relying on external forces, thanks to prioritised investment in national defence. (Photos by Eddie Ssejjoba & Simon Peter Tumwine)

While speaking at Busolwe Town Council, he criticised money lenders’ “chains” and highlighted the limits of the Parish Development Model (PDM), instead championing the Agricultural Credit Facility (ACF) as a more empowering alternative.
