In a bold and controversial statement, Kampala Central Member of Parliament Hon. Muhammad Nsereko has declared that Uganda’s Electoral Commission, under the leadership of Justice Simon Byabakama, can never announce anyone other than President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni as the winner of a presidential election. His remarks have stirred wide public debate as the country heads toward the much-anticipated 2026 general elections.
Nsereko’s comments come at a time when political tensions are already high, with opposition figures calling for transparency and reforms in Uganda’s electoral system. The legislator, known for his outspoken nature, said that the current structure of the Electoral Commission leaves little room for genuine competition. “No matter what happens, Byabakama can never announce anyone else as president besides Museveni,” Nsereko remarked, suggesting that the system is deeply rooted in loyalty to the ruling government.
The statement reflects growing public skepticism about the independence of Uganda’s Electoral Commission. Over the years, several opposition leaders—including Bobi Wine of the National Unity Platform (NUP) and Dr. Kizza Besigye of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC)—have accused the commission of being biased in favor of the National Resistance Movement (NRM). Nsereko’s remarks seem to echo these long-standing concerns.
According to Nsereko, the credibility of Uganda’s elections has been undermined by the close ties between the Electoral Commission and the government. He argued that unless significant reforms are made, it would be unrealistic for Ugandans to expect a different outcome in any election. “As long as the commission operates under state influence, its loyalty will always lean toward the incumbent,” he added.
Political analysts have interpreted Nsereko’s comments as both a warning and a reflection of public frustration. Some say his statement exposes a painful truth about Uganda’s electoral process, while others believe it could be an attempt to provoke national dialogue on electoral reforms. Regardless, the remark has sparked heated discussions on social media, with many Ugandans expressing both anger and agreement.
Supporters of the ruling NRM, however, have dismissed Nsereko’s claims, saying they are baseless and intended to discredit the commission ahead of the 2026 polls. They argue that President Museveni’s repeated victories are the result of his strong track record and wide support across the country. “The opposition always blames the system when they lose, instead of focusing on building their structures,” one NRM supporter commented online.
Nsereko’s statement, though controversial, reflects a growing demand for accountability and transparency in Uganda’s electoral process. Many citizens continue to question whether the commission can conduct a truly free and fair election in an environment where political power and state institutions appear closely intertwined.
As Uganda prepares for the 2026 elections, calls for electoral reform are likely to intensify. Several opposition leaders and civil society groups have already begun mobilizing campaigns to demand an independent electoral body, arguing that without one, Uganda’s democracy will remain compromised.
Hon. Nsereko, known for his independent political stance, has long criticized both the government and the opposition for failing to address systemic issues that weaken Uganda’s democracy. His latest statement has once again placed him at the center of political debate, drawing both praise and criticism from various quarters.
With less than two months to the 2026 elections, Uganda’s political atmosphere is heating up. Nsereko’s words have reignited discussions on whether the country’s electoral process truly represents the will of the people—or whether, as he suggests, the outcome has already been predetermined. Either way, his statement has added new fuel to the growing debate over Uganda’s political future.
