Kampala, Uganda: Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye, the Senior Presidential Advisor and Head of the Office of the National Chairman (ONC), has issued a stern warning to what she described as “NRM cartels” plotting to destabilise Uganda as the country heads into the 2026 elections.
Speaking during a media engagement on Wednesday, Namyalo cautioned that the ruling party is aware of the internal groups who believe they can act with impunity to undermine both the National Resistance Movement and national stability.
“There is a cartel of people in NRM who always want to portray that they have a lot of power. These are the people disorganising the party, and they have plans to destabilise the country ahead of 2026, but we are aware,” she said.
The ONC boss stressed that while internal disagreements are normal in any political organisation, the ONC will not tolerate elements that manipulate party structures or exploit government resources for personal gain.
She also reiterated her commitment to exposing individuals she accuses of betraying the party and the trust of President Yoweri Museveni, citing her previous clash with social commentator Frank Gashumba as an example of her readiness to confront what she calls “opportunists.”
The remarks come as NRM intensifies preparations for its internal primaries and the nomination of President Museveni as flag bearer for the next election cycle.
