The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) promoted more than 30 senior officers and reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining security during Uganda’s 2026 elections, with commanders stressing merit, discipline, and responsibility. At the same time, analysts warned that the election cycle could create short-term investment risks, including increased security measures, regulatory delays, and fiscal pressure. While major political change appears unlikely, businesses may face operational disruptions across key sectors during the polls.
