Each President was received by a delegation led by a Ugandan minister at the airport before their convoys sped off to Kampala.

Some Presidents, like Magufuli who were visiting Uganda for the first time, went straight to statehouse to meet President Museveni.

He will now lead Uganda for the next five years and has promised to ensure that Uganda remains steadily progressing in peace and develpment.
