19-year-old to vie for presidency in Uganda
A 19-year-old Ugandan has picked nomination papers to vie for the presidency in the upcoming general elections.
Hillary Humphrey Kaweesa said he had always been a leader and was qualified to lead the country.
He said he would fund-raise for the 20m Ugandan shillings nomination fees.
Mr Kaweesa is also required to collect 100 signatures in every district for his nomination.
The constitution allows any Ugandan citizen who is above 18 years to vie for the presidency.
