Uganda's President Museveni to Run Again.

By
KAMPALA, UGANDA – The National Resistance Movement (NRM) party has chosen President Yoweri Museveni to be their candidate for president again. He will run in the election for the years 2026 to 2031.
The party's meeting, called the National Delegates Conference, was held at Kololo Independence Grounds. At the meeting, everyone agreed that President Museveni should be the one to lead the party and run for president.
In a speech, President Museveni said thank you to the people who chose him. He said, "I thank you for putting trust in me to be your chairman of the NRM... and for electing me as the party flagbearer for the presidential contest."
He also congratulated his fellow party member, Hajji Moses Kigongo. Kigongo was elected without anyone running against him.
This means President Museveni will be on the ballot in the next big election in Uganda. He has been president since 1986.

Kampala, Uganda – The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) wants to make something clear. They are not going to start setting "mock examinations" for schools, even though some news reports said they would. UNEB says that a recent news story incorrectly used the words "pre-tests" and "mock exams" as if they were the same thing. The truth is that UNEB is currently carrying out "pre-tests" in some selected schools. These pre-tests are part of UNEB's effort to make sure the questions and tasks used for the new Competency-Based Assessment are of good quality. So, while UNEB is indeed doing some testing in schools, it's for quality checks of their new assessment methods, not for setting practice "mock exams" that students would take.
