Nrm leadership orientation is a structured ideological and practical training program designed to align party leaders, particularly newly elected Members of Parliament and local leaders, with the party's core principles, strategic goals, and long-term vision for Uganda. 

This training usually takes place at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi and focuses on cultivating discipline, political awareness, and a shared understanding of national transformation.

The training aims to blend the vision of NRM founders with current politics, emphasizing "interest against identity" (shifting focus from tribe/religion to shared socioeconomic interests).

 Leaders are trained to act as community stabilizers, coordinating with the NRM Secretariat to monitor and supervise government programs like the Parish Development Model and Emyooga.

According Nrm Secretary General Richard Todwong recent orientations have targeted youth leaders, MP-elects, and head teachers to promote the party’s message of "securing the future"

Speaker of Parliament and National Resistance Movement (NRM) 2nd National Vice Chairperson, Anita Annet Among, told a delegation of independent Members of Parliament interested in forging a cooperation agreement with the ruling party on Wednesday at the NRM Secretariat on Kyadondo Road in Nakasero.

During the meeting, Among revealed that independent MPs who express willingness to ally with the National Resistance Movement will be invited to the upcoming Kyankwanzi Retreat, scheduled for April 7, 2026.

“During this retreat, we will officially welcome them and formally introduce those who have signed to work with the party,” she said.

Among further disclosed that out of 69 independent MPs, 62 have indicated interest in aligning with the NRM in the 12th Parliament, describing the development as a significant boost to the party’s numbers.

“Something worth celebrating because it adds to our already big numbers,” she said.

She added that Parliament is ready to integrate the independents, including assigning them roles both within the party structures and in parliamentary business.

“As Parliament, we are ready to work with the independents and give them assignments both from the party and from Parliament,” she noted.

The NRM Director of Legal Affairs, Counsel Enoch Barata, welcomed the MPs who have committed to advancing development in their constituencies while contributing to the party’s broader agenda.

Meanwhile, the NRM Director of Communication, Emmanuel Lumala Dombo, described the move as a strong signal of the party’s continued growth and appeal among elected leaders.

The development underscores shifting political alignments ahead of the new parliamentary term, with the ruling party consolidating support from independent legislators across Uganda.

National Resistance Movement (NRM) is Uganda's ruling political party, in power since 1986 under President Yoweri Museveni. Emerging from a guerrilla movement (NRA), it advocates for stability, national unity, and socio-economic transformation. The NRM prioritizes commercialized agriculture, infrastructure development, and poverty reduction through initiatives like the Parish Development Model (PDM) to transform Uganda's society.

The government under NRM has transitioned towards commercial agriculture and wealth creation through programmes like the Parish Development Model (PDM) and various skilling centers.
