Top leaders of the NRM, in an attempt to resolve a power struggle in Uganda’s ruling party between factions loyal to President Yoweri Museveni and those aligned to Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, advised the duo to sort out their differences without dividing the party or casting it as an undemocratic institution.

A firm stand by the National Resistance Movement’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) is behind the sudden deflation of efforts to remove Uganda Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi as Secretary-General of the ruling party.
Mr Mbabazi, whose political future had for several weeks been the subject of speculation after he was accused of secretly mobilising to stand against President Yoweri Museveni in 2016, started last week in a more relaxed posture, presiding over party meetings and confidently dismissing a reported falling out with his principal and longtime friend.
