Vice President Rtd Major Jessica Alupo has assured Ugandans that President Yoweri Museveni is still around and should support him during the 2026 polls to drive forward the development he has started in the country.

Speaking during celebrations to mark thirty-five years of Entebbe Church of Uganda Archdeaconry, Alupo said the able leadership of President Museveni has enabled the country to register growth in the road, industry, power, and ICT sectors and the people should just support him to continue that development to pull Ugandans out of poverty.

The assurance comes at a time when the first son Lt. Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba is unassailably campaigning in a way many pundits say is doing ground to prepare to take over from the father, come 2026.

Alupo who urged Church leaders and Christians in Entebbe to support the ruling NRM party explained that Entebbe was the gateway of Uganda and it was not proper in terms of political colors for the ground not to be reflective of this.
