According to Philip Kakuru, the patron of the NRM Southern Africa Chapter, Vice President Jessica Alupo, NRM Secretary General Richard Todwong, Ugandan High Commissioner to South Africa, Paul Amoru , African National Congress leadership and other business leaders in South African will speak during the symposium.Kakuru asked party members and supporters to take part in the symposium.

The National Resistance Movement Electoral Commission Chairman, Dr. Tanga Odoi last year released a tentative roadmap for the elections of Party structures from village to district level.
This year President Yoweri Museveni launched the exercise to update the NRM register as part of the ruling party’s electoral roadmap for 2026 election.
“This is a good nucleus. Each book is sent back to the village and people check. People are free to go and check and if there is somebody missing,”Museveni said.
“Mobilization in form of holding meetings and rallies is good but all those efforts will be very easy if you go back to the NRM principles and understand them. These principles are a diagnosis of the problems of Uganda and then a prescription. Therefore, as you mobilise, understand these principles yourself,” Museveni added.
The NRM Secretary General, Richard Todwong said this exercise prepares the party for the 2026 general election.
He retaliated the call by party members for President Museveni to stand again in 2026.
“As a party, we are committed to ensuring you continue with your legacy and good deeds and we are still asking for your good will to stand in 2026. Every district is sending a memorandum asking you to offer yourself in 2026,” Todwong said.
