Yoweri Museveni

Yoweri Museveni has been serving as the President of Uganda since 1986 and continues to be a central figure in Ugandan politics. Recently, he addressed supporters in Gulu, emphasizing peace as crucial for regional progress. In another statement, Museveni claimed that Uganda is the most democratic country globally, highlighting its inclusive representation through constituency MPs and affirmative action measures for various demographics including women, disabled individuals, workers, youths, soldiers, and elders. His statements reflect ongoing debates about democracy and governance in Africa, where long-serving leaders are common. While Museveni remains a key political figure, his claims of Uganda's democratic superiority contrast with international perspectives on the country’s human rights record and electoral processes.
