President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has been officially declared the winner of Uganda’s 2026 presidential election after securing 71.46% of the total vote, according to the Electoral Commission
Yesterday, on 17th January 2026, at 5pm, the Uganda Electoral Commission announced the final election results at the National Tally Centre in Lweza.
This comes after the recently concluded nationwide general elections, where Ugandans participated to decide their next president in the next term.

The 2026 presidential aspirants included Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu (Bobi Wine), Nathan Nandala Mafabi, Gregory Mugisha Muntu Oyera, Mubarak Munyagwa Sserunga, Frank Bulira Kabinga, Robert Kasibante, and Elton Joseph Mabirizi.
President Museveni’s announcement has been met with significant excitement across the country, where NRM supporters jubilated over the results.
Not only did President Museveni win, but also the NRM members of Parliament secured victory in good numbers with the highest percentage, followed by the independent candidates and then the NUP MPs.
So here at Uncovered Ug we expect Museveni to celebrate his victory on 26th January on the NRM liberation day.
In conclusion, we encourage President Museveni in this term to protect the gains of the country, as he has been saying in his campaigns for a better Uganda.
