Kampala, (UG):- The Senior Presidential Advisor in charge of Office of the NRM National Chairman (ONC), Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye has been listed among the top 75 Uganda Development Champions and Leaders recognized for their exceptional contributions to achieving Uganda Vision 2040 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Hajjat Namyalo’s inclusion was confirmed to DailyExpress by Mr Buyinza Adam Luzindana CEO of Public Opinions while unveiling the 2024 list of certified 75 Uganda Development Champions, and their respective views on the Achievements of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.

“Hajjat Namyalo has reaffirmed that The National Resistance Movement under the good leadership of President Museveni has achieved immense success in transforming Uganda’s socio-economic and political landscape. By introducing democracy and conducting regular, free, and fair elections, the NRM has empowered Ugandans to participate in the country’s development,” Mr Buyinza stated.

He added; “President Museveni has also politically empowered marginalized sections of society, including women, youth, elders, people with disabilities, and workers, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to public affairs. Under President Museveni’s leadership, the NRM is committed to promoting vocational skills and cottage industries to overcome poverty.”

Looking ahead, Buyinza says with Hajjat Namyalo at the helm of ONC, the focus of the ruling party is on protecting votes for President Museveni in the 2026 elections across all polling stations in Uganda.

“The Office of the NRM National Chairman urges young people to embrace the party’s fundamental objectives: safeguarding security, maintaining political stability, promoting economic prosperity, and securing a bright future,” he emphasized.
