Kampala, Uganda:12,Jan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is leading the presidential race with 62 percent, according to the latest public opinion survey conducted across 100 districts countrywide. The poll, released on Monday, indicates that Museveni maintains a commanding lead over his closest challengers, reflecting strong nationwide support as the country moves closer to the next electoral cycle. Opposition figures trail far behind in the survey results, with support spread among several candidates, a factor analysts say could be weakening the opposition’s overall competitiveness. Political observers note that the fragmented opposition landscape continues to benefit the incumbent. The survey assessed voter preferences across different regions, age

groups, and socio-economic backgrounds, highlighting Museveni’s dominance particularly in rural areas, while opposition candidates showed relatively stronger performance in some urban centers. However, analysts caution that opinion polls represent a snapshot in time and voter sentiment may change as campaigns intensify. They also emphasize the importance of transparency, civic engagement, and a level playing field as the election period approaches. Neither the Electoral Commission nor the opposition leaders had issued an official response to the poll results by the time of publication.
