Ugandans are engaged heavily,politically and emotionally in whether President Yoweri Museveni should rule them for another term. He is the longest serving President in the pearl of Africa country Uganda.
During an interview, the NRM leader said,’I know there are some leaders who have been leading even beyond the age of 75 but I think if you want very active leaders; it is good to have ones below the age of 75. That is in the Constitution now. And I will not involve myself in wanting to change that because I think there is some scientific logic behind it.’
Well,here is a list of the current longest ruling non-royal Presidents in Africa, crazy and unbelievable.
