Most of Uganda’s population is under 17 – will they give an 81-year-old another term?
Most of Uganda’s population is under the age of 17, leading to speculation on whether they will support giving another term to the 81-year-old President Yoweri Museveni in the upcoming elections. Museveni has been in power since 1986 and is seeking a sixth term in the 2021 elections. With a majority of the population being youth, their role in determining the country’s political future is crucial.
President Museveni’s camp argues that his experience and leadership are vital for the country’s stability and development. They highlight his role in maintaining peace and security in Uganda over the years. On the other hand, opposition parties and youth activists criticize Museveni’s long tenure, pointing to issues of corruption, lack of opportunities for the youth, and suppression of dissent.
The youth in Uganda, who have been increasingly vocal in demanding change and better governance, could play a significant role in the upcoming elections. Their voting patterns and level of engagement will be crucial in deciding whether Museveni secures another term.
The generational divide in Uganda’s population presents a unique dynamic in the upcoming elections, with the older generation supporting Museveni’s continued leadership, while the youth advocate for change and new leadership. How this balance of power plays out at the polls will determine the political landscape of Uganda for the years to come.
