The EAC Election Observation Mission to Uganda comprises a delegation of sixty-one (61) observers, drawn from the EAC Partner States and the EAC Secretariat. This diverse team reflects the Communityโs commitment to inclusivity, regional representation, and gender balance.
Today all the Elections stakeholders received a detailed and interactive briefing from the Electoral Commission of Uganda. We look forward to flagging off the EAC Mission tomorrow. @jumuiya@UgandaEC
Elections in EAC Partner States are not merely national exercises; they carry regional significance. Credible and peaceful elections contribute directly to regional stability, trust among Partner States, and the advancement of the EAC integration agenda.
It is within this spirit of shared responsibility and solidarity that the EAC has constituted and deployed this Election Observation Mission to Uganda. I have appointed Rt. Hon. Amb. Edda Mukabagwiza as the Head of the Observation Mission. @jumuiya@UgandaEC@EddaM2012

๐Launch of #CHAN2024 Ugandan Chapter
โ๏ธThe EAC Secretary General @SGnduva attended the official launch of the #CHAN2024 Ugandan chapter, a significant event that was graced by the President of Uganda,@KagutaMuseveni
The launch marked a key moment in the preparations for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024, which is a prestigious football competition for national teams composed of players who play in their home countryโs domestic leagues.
During the event, President Museveni emphasized the importance of the tournament in fostering regional integration, sporting excellence, and enhancing Ugandaโs visibility on the continental sports stage.
The President who was accompanied by his wife and Minister of Education & Sports, Janet Kataaha Museveni reiterated the governmentโs commitment to supporting the success of the event through infrastructure development and logistical support.
On her part, the EAC Secretary General said the impact of hosting CHAN-2024 and the upcoming AFCON-2027 will be felt far beyond the stadiums and the goals that will be scored. Tourism, hospitality, transport, and media industries will provide a crucial boost for job creation particularly for the region's youth
She said, with over 65% of the East African population under the age of 30, football provides a vital platform for positive engagement.
"The joint bid by the Republic of Kenya, Uganda, and the United Republic of Tanzania to co-host both CHAN-2024 & AFCON-2027 represents a historic milestone, not only in the annals of African football but also in the journey of East African unity"
The CHAN2024 tournament is expected to bring together teams from across the continent, showcasing the talent and passion for football in East Africa, with Uganda playing a pivotal role in the organization and hosting of the competition.
The successful launch of the Ugandan chapter signals a promising start for the tournament and sets the stage for an exciting year of preparations leading up to the event.
