KAMPALA, Uganda, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Officials with Uganda's ruling party passed a resolution to remove the age limit on the presidency so President Yoweri Museveni can run again. Museveni, now 71, would be ineligible to seek re-election in 2021 because the constitution bars anyone older than 75 to serve. He has been president since 1986. The Kyankwanzi National Resistance Movement passed a resolution calling for the amendment of the Constitution by parliament to lift the age ban, the office of the president announced in a release Tuesday. During a meeting at the Kyankwanzi State Lodge at the National Leadership Institute, the Kyankwanzi district leaders told Museveni that they want the limit removed.
