The Presidential Envoy for Buganda Affairs, Mr. Joseph Ssewava, has commended inter-religious leaders for their role in mobilising Ugandans to participate peacefully in the 2026 general elections, urging them to remain committed to supporting President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the National Resistance Movement (NRM). Mr. Ssewava made the remarks on Saturday, January 24, 2026, during an engagement meeting with concerned citizens held at Zebra Hotel, which attracted more than 83 participants from Greater Masaka and surrounding areas. He praised religious leaders for what he described as responsible civic engagement, noting that their efforts helped voters understand the achievements of President Museveni before, during, and after the elections. “Religious leaders played a critical role in guiding people to make informed decisions. In any civilized society, such contribution must be appreciated,” Ssewava said. Museveni’s Victory Attributed to Development Programmes Ssewava attributed President Museveni’s victory to tangible government programmes, particularly the Parish Development Model (PDM) and skilling initiatives, which he said have directly improved livelihoods across the country. “Every day, more Ugandans are appreciating the president because of programmes that put money and skills directly in people’s hands,” he said. He added that
