President Yoweri Museveni has issued a strong warning that his government will not tolerate any form of disorder as political activities intensify nationwide ahead of the 2026 general elections. He emphasized that security agencies will act decisively to preserve peace and stability, urging political actors to conduct their campaigns responsibly and within the law.

The President made the remarks while welcoming a group of opposition politicians who have defected to the ruling party, describing their decision as a reflection of confidence in the government’s leadership and development agenda. He said the ruling party remains open to leaders who are willing to work together for national unity and progress.

Observers say the combination of a firm security message and growing political defections highlights rising political temperatures as parties reorganize, build alliances, and position themselves for the highly anticipated polls. With campaign activities expected to expand further in the coming months, analysts predict an increasingly competitive and closely watched political environment.
