Uganda’s second deputy prime minister Gen Moses Ali was nominated to contest for the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) card for another term as Adjumani West MP. Sick and elderly Gen Moses Ali was nominated in his car.
Gen Moses Ali did not step out of his official government vehicle for his nomination as other candidates have been doing.
Instead, Dr Tanga Odoi, the NRM Electoral Commission chairman, went to the vehicle of sick and elderly Gen Moses Ali to nominate him there after confirming that he had met all the requirements
“I, Dr Tanga Odoi, on behalf of the NRM Electoral Commission, do hereby nominate Gen Moses Ali for Adjumani West Constituency in Adjumani District. Congratulations,” said Tanga Odoi.
MP for the same constituency since 2011, Gen Moses Ali believes he still has what it takes to represent thousands of his constituents despite his advanced age and worrying health condition.
If his Adjumani West voters see him worthy of another term as MP, Gen Moses Ali will be 92 years old by the time he completes that term of five years in 2031.
Yet Moses Ali is not only old but he is frail. In public, he is seen shaking in his chair and he struggles to keep standing.
But old as he is, Moses Ali seems to be popular among voters – at least if results of the 2021 election are anything to go by.
As The Pearl Times has previously reported, Moses Ali was the flag bearer for ruling National Resistance Movement.
He got 10,227 votes, beating Patrick Tandrupasi of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) who garnered 6,891 votes, independent candidates Santos Gabriel Adrawa who garnered 1,836 votes, Dominic Asusi Andama with 1,145 votes, Philip Irama Tolu with 934 votes, Henry Ajirika Drasiku who got 603 votes and Gasper Draga with 202 votes.
In April 2025, a video of old and sick Deputy PM Moses Ali asking voters for another term shocked Ugandans, as reported Here.
Previously, Gen Moses Ali collapsed in Parliament, appeared weak, frail and struggling with a strange disease. Ugandans have also demanded answers on Gen Moses Ali’s health condition and have been telling President Museveni to fire the old man and let him retire. (See Details Here, There and Over There).
