- Tunachokijua
- A post circulating on Social media claims that President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni said:
“I intended not to contest again by 2031, but so far I do not see anyone who can carry on my vision.”
The statement is presented as if Museveni was discussing his unwillingness to leave office after the 2026–2031 term.
What We found
There is no credible evidence that President Museveni made this statement or announced that he would not seek another term after 2031.
Museveni was re-elected in the January 2026 presidential election and began his new five-year term in May 2026. During the launch of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) 2026–2031 Manifesto, his messaging focused on implementing the party's agenda and maintaining its long-term political dominance, rather than announcing a departure date or succession plan.
Similarly, during his Swearing in Ceremony on 12 May 2026, Museveni spoke about Uganda's development over the past four decades and outlined priorities for the new 2026–2031 “Kisanja.”
He called on Ugandans to focus on productivity and national transformation, concluding: “What is left to say is, let us get to work.”
The claim is also inconsistent with reports from January 2026 in which Museveni was reported to have spoken about preparations extending to the 2031 election, Read here.
No credible media report or public statement from President Yoweri Museveni has been found confirming that he said he would not/Would contest in 2031 because he had not found someone capable of continuing his vision.
Verdict: FALSE
The quote attributed to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is false and misleading. There is no credible record showing that he said he planned not to / to contest again in 2031 because he could not find someone capable of continuing his vision.
