Additionally, he said that an election will never be a means to remove Museveni from power. They, therefore, have to devise other means if they really want to do the seemingly impossible for now.
“I want to tell the people of Uganda that even if all opposition parties within East & Southern Africa unite, they cannot oust Gen M7 out of power. You cannot milk 100 rabbits and expect to get a 40 litre jerrycan of milk. An election can never be an avenue to remove Gen.M7,” he said.
Apparently, most of the opposition political leaders know this but they have nonetheless stuck with the method. Prior to the 2021 general elections, Besigye who had contested against Museveni four times said that elections do not work and he never participated.
A new kid on the block, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu dismissed this and said that he would go ahead to participate. He got massive support but couldn’t beat Museveni and he is still crying foul play till now.
Recently, President Museveni reappointed Justice Simon Byabakama as the new electoral commission chairman. It was Byabakama at the pinnacle of the commission in the 2021 general election.
Nakaseke South MP, Hon Paulson Lutamaguzi said that anyone who participates in this election will be a fool. This is because nothing sensible will come out of it if the commission is not yet independent.
However, his party, NUP and other opposition political parties haven’t shown any means to challenge this. All signs are clear that they will participate in the 2026 general elections.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
