86-Year-Old Gen. Moses Ali Re-elected as MP for Adjumani West in Uganda Elections

Eighty-six-year-old Gen. Moses Ali has been successfully re-elected as Member of Parliament for the Adjumani West Constituency in Uganda’s latest parliamentary elections, extending his long and influential career in public service.

Gen. Moses Ali, one of Uganda’s most senior political figures, entered the military in the late 1960s, rising through the ranks to become a key figure in the country’s armed forces and later serving in various high-level government positions across different administrations.

After decades of military and public service, Gen. Ali transitioned into elective politics and was first elected as Member of Parliament for Adjumani West in 2011, a seat he has since retained through successive elections.

His re-election at the age of 86 has drawn widespread attention, highlighting both his enduring political influence and the confidence voters in Adjumani West continue to place in his leadership.

Gen. Moses Ali currently serves as Second Deputy Prime Minister, making him one of the longest-serving figures in Uganda’s political landscape.

Observers say his victory underscores the role of experience and historical continuity in Ugandan politics, even as the country navigates generational shifts in leadership.
