This week, Uganda’s ruling NRM party informed journalists that any further applications to cover President Yoweri Museveni’s campaign ahead of the January 2026 polls would be denied. The International Press Association of Uganda calls for these limits on access to be removed.

As Uganda's elections approach, government agencies have a responsibility to uphold press freedom. We condemn the censorship of Nation Media Group journalists covering parliamentary politics.

Congrats to

for his new article in
