68% want Museveni to quit in 2011

Kampala

Ugandans are generally satisfied with the way President Museveni has led the country but almost seven out of every 10 citizens say he should not seek re-election in 2011, a new Daily Monitor poll reveals.

Sixty-seven per cent of the respondents said they were either “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the way Mr Museveni had led the country. However, asked whether President Museveni should stand for re-election next year, 68 per cent said “no”.

The opinion poll was commissioned by Daily Monitor and the Deepening Democracy Programme and conducted countrywide between April 19 and May 6 by TNS/Research International, an independent global research company.
