AT 86, UGANDA'S MOSES ALI WINS AGAIN: WHEN WILL THE OLD GUARD LET GO? 🇺🇬
General Moses Ali, 86 years old, has been re-elected as Member of Parliament for Adjumani West Constituency in Uganda's contested elections.
While the world watches Uganda's democracy crisis unfold, one thing remains constant: the old guard refuses to step aside. Gen. Ali, a fixture in Ugandan politics for decades, has secured yet another term representing his constituency.
At 86, when most would be in retirement, Ali continues his political journey in a country where President Museveni himself is 80 and extending his 39-year rule into a 7th term.
The pattern is clear: Uganda's leadership remains firmly in the hands of those who've held power for generations, while the youth—over 75% of the population—watch from the sidelines.
Is this experience and stability, or is this a generation refusing to pass the torch?
Africa is asking: when does legacy become obstruction?
