Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni held his final campaign rally in Kampala's Kasese District on Monday, as the country prepares to head to the polls in three days for the presidential election.
Footage shows massive crowds filling Kololo Independence Grounds, where Museveni arrived in a convoy and delivered a speech to his supporters.
In his address, the president urged voters to back the National Resistance Movement (NRM), saying it was essential for the country to 'continue moving forward.'
"Uganda is richer now. We've got a lot more production than before. At Uganda, as a country, more coffee, more bananas, more cows, more maize, more sugar. Everything is more," Museveni said.
"What NRM is telling you is not stories. It is things that have been done and you can see them," he stressed. "In two days, I want you to support the NRM, so that we consolidate what we have done."
President Yoweri Museveni, who has been in power since 1986, is currently serving his sixth elected term and is seeking to extend his four-decade rule - a path made possible after Uganda's parliament abolished presidential term limits in 2005 and amended the constitution again in 2017 to remove the 75-year age cap.
The Electoral Commission has cleared eight candidates for the presidency. Recent polls suggest Museveni remains ahead with roughly 45-55% of decided voters. Robert Kyagulanyi - widely known as Bobi Wine - polls second with 30-40%, while other candidates trail in the single digits.
