# Yoweri Museveni

> He took power in 1986 after a guerrilla war that toppled two dictatorships, then stayed. Over four decades, Museveni has used banned parties, constitutional rewrites, and ballot stuffing to outlast nearly every leader on earth — now the third longest-serving head of state after two other autocrats.

## Bio

Born in 1944 in British-controlled Uganda, Museveni studied political science in Dar es Salaam and formed a student revolutionary front. He fought in the failed 1972 invasion against Idi Amin, then helped overthrow him alongside Tanzanian forces in 1979. After losing the 1980 election to Milton Obote — a result he called fraudulent — Museveni launched the Ugandan Bush War. His National Resistance Movement took Kampala in January 1986, and he became president. Political parties were effectively banned until 2005. His government has since scrapped presidential term limits in 2005 and age limits in 2017, and the 2021 and 2026 elections were marked by widespread reports of ballot stuffing, kidnappings, and military crackdowns. The 2026 count gave him 71% of the vote.
