President Yoweri Museveni is set to preside over the election of the 10-army representatives in Parliament at a function scheduled at the UPDF Land Forces Headquarters in Luweero District today.
The 10-UPDF representatives elected through the Army Council meeting and managed by the Electoral Commission are conducted in line with the regulations that guide the election of Special Interest Groups.
The elected representatives join the Members directly elected to represent constituencies including a Woman District representative from each of the districts in Uganda.
The other special interest groups include the workers, youth and Persons with Disabilities that will constitute the 12th Parliament after the official swearing in ceremony in May 2026.
Unlike the elections for directly elected MPs and the other special interest groups conducted in public spaces, the UPDF election is conducted under an internal Army process where the Commander -in- Chief and President of Uganda chairs the Army Council meeting. The composition of the army representatives must have at least 2 female representatives.
In 2021, the 10-elected UPDF representatives at the 11th Parliament included Gen Edward Katumba Wamala, Gen David Muhoozi, Lt Gen Wilson Mbadi, Lt Gen Peter Elweru, Lt Gen James Mugira, Maj Gen Sam Kavuma, Maj Gen Henry Matsiko, Col Dr Victor Nekesa (female) representative, Lt Col Charity Bainababo (Female) representative and Maj Dr Jennifer Alanyo.
The Army representatives are elected in line with the 1995 Constitution that allocated 10 seats in the Uganda Parliament reserved for the UPDF.
This publication could not independently verify if any of the names officers representing at the 11th Parliament will find their respective names back in Parliament after the election process conducted at the Land Forces Headquarters in Bombo, Luweero District on January 28, 2026.
