Uganda's Speaker of Parliament Anita Among has revived a proposal to extend all political terms from five to seven years, pitched to newly elected lawmakers just weeks before the 12th Parliament is sworn in. The move echoes a 2017 attempt that was struck down by the Constitutional Court and fits a pattern of constitutional amendments — including the 2005 removal of term limits and the 2017 removal of the presidential age cap — that have steadily concentrated power around President Yoweri Museveni's four-decade rule.
