Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) flag bearer Nathan Nandala Mafabi has pledged major reforms in agriculture, job creation, and anti-corruption efforts after being nominated for the 2026 presidential elections.

Mafabi, who was officially nominated by the Electoral Commission on Wednesday , said his government would prioritise farmers by allocating at least 10 percent of the national budget to agriculture, constructing storage facilities, and guaranteeing markets for produce.

“Our farmers produce but have nowhere to store their harvests. A responsible government must ensure farmers can store maize, coffee, and sugarcane and access cash when needed,” Mafabi said.

He warned that Uganda’s agricultural potential is being undermined by poor policies.
