Parliament
Here is the list of long-serving members of Parliament in the 11th Parliament
As 2025 progresses, the political atmosphere in Uganda is thickening with anticipation for the upcoming 2026 General Elections. While the current Members of Parliament (MPs) are in the twilight of their five-year term, a palpable eagerness fills the air, both from incumbents keen to retain their seats and from ambitious newcomers eager to join the country’s esteemed August House.
The political landscape is set for a significant shake-up, with campaigns expected to commence soon, igniting a battle for representation across the nation’s constituencies. For some veteran legislators, the upcoming election is yet another hurdle in their long-standing political careers, with a few having been in Parliament since as far back as 1989. These long-serving individuals have witnessed and shaped Uganda’s political trajectory for decades, wielding considerable influence and institutional memory.
