Kampala, Uganda – When you think of elections in Uganda, it’s easy to picture ballot boxes, long queues, and heated political debates. But behind all that machinery, there’s a man quietly making sure it all runs smoothly: Richard Baabo Kamugisha, Uganda’s newly appointed Electoral Commission Secretary.

From District Offices to the National Stage Kamugisha’s journey is a story of steady climb and quiet competence. He joined the Electoral Commission in 1999, cutting his teeth as…

Ugandan comedy could be headed for a major showdown after Comedian Reign threw down the gauntlet to fellow performers across the industry. The outspoken entertainer has challenged comedians, from stand-up acts to skit creators, to step forward and battle him and longtime comedy partner Maulana in what promises to be a thrilling clash of punchlines. According to Reign, interested comedians must register before Friday to secure their spot in the face-off.

In the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), the race for Speaker of Parliament is usually decided long before Members of Parliament ever cast their votes. This time, however, the outcome appears less settled. Shortly after the Electoral Commission declared President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni the winner of the January 2026 presidential election, the NRM’s top decision-making body, the Central Executive Committee (CEC), moved quickly to endorse Anita Annet Among as Speaker and Thomas Tayebwa as Deputy Speaker for the incoming 12th Parliament. But what is normally a routine endorsement has sparked a wave of quiet resistance within the ruling party. Some…
