About this listen
In this episode of The Spark It Podcast, we talk about the stability Uganda has enjoyed since 1986. We unpack President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s leadership style, the benefits and trade-offs of “security-first” rule, and how constitutional changes that removed term and age limits reshaped power and public trust. We explore rural and urban voter motivations, why opposition parties struggle to scale beyond cities, and ask whether real transition requires coalitions, stronger institutions, or both. With the 2026 Uganda elections around the corner, we dig into why both the ruling party and the opposition draw big crowds—and why that still doesn’t make the result predictable. We ask if Uganda can protect peace and widen freedoms at the same time, and who will lead this shift? Tune in for a candid conversation about Uganda’s next democratic test.
