National Resistance Movement

The National Resistance Movement (NRM) is a political party in Uganda founded by President Yoweri Museveni in 1986, following an armed uprising. The party has been the ruling party of Uganda for over three decades. Recently, Museveni won his seventh term as president with 71.65% of votes, despite opposition rejection of the results and major delays at the polls. This development is newsworthy due to its implications on Uganda's democracy and Museveni's long-standing grip on power. The NRM's dominance has led to concerns about vote rigging and limited political opposition. As a result, the party's significance lies in its role in shaping Uganda's politics and governance for over three decades.
