Track the pledges. Hold the candidates accountable.
Welcome to the Uganda Presidential Election Promise Tracker 2026, an initiative of the African Centre for Media Excellence (ACME) in pursuit of our goal of promoting accountability journalism and civic engagement.
Designed primarily for journalists and news outlets, this tracker provides a central resource to help newsrooms and news platforms focus their reporting on the issues and commitments shaping Uganda’s 2026 general election. It documents the promises, pledges and manifesto commitments made by presidential candidates and their key party officials during the campaign period, giving the news media timely and verifiable information to use in their coverage.
