The ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) has officially convened its first Parliamentary Caucus meeting for Uganda’s 12th Parliament, setting the stage for internal coordination ahead of key legislative activities.
In a formal notice dated May 18, 2026, NRM Secretary General Richard Todwong announced that the meeting will take place on Sunday, May 24, 2026, at State House in Entebbe.
The session is scheduled to begin at 2:00 pm and is expected to bring together all members affiliated with the party in Parliament.
According to the communication, attendance is mandatory for all NRM Members of Parliament.
The notice also extends an invitation to independent legislators who have expressed willingness to cooperate with the ruling party, signaling a broader effort to consolidate parliamentary support.
Ahead of the meeting, all members have been directed to undergo mandatory COVID-19 testing. The exercise will be conducted at the Parliamentary Conference Hall within the Parliamentary Buildings in Kampala over two days—Friday, May 22, and Saturday, May 23—from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The requirement underscores continued adherence to public health measures within official state functions.
Todwong used the notice to congratulate legislators on their swearing-in to the 12th Parliament, describing the moment as significant for both individual members and the party’s broader agenda.
He emphasized the importance of unity and coordination within the caucus as the country moves into a new legislative cycle.
“The National Resistance Movement Secretariat looks forward to closely working with each of you to protect the gains as the country makes a qualitative leap towards a higher middle-income status society,” the statement reads.
The meeting is expected to outline the party’s legislative priorities, internal strategies, and alignment on national policy issues.
It comes at a time when the government is under pressure to deliver on economic growth targets, service delivery, and governance reforms.
