NEW MUSIC (UGANDA): Have A Listen To President Museveni's New Rap Song!

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has released a rap song to promote his campaign in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.

"That is his song, the voice is his," Museveni's press secretary Tamale Mirundi told AFP . "The president uses many forms to relay messages he considers important, music and proverbs being part of that."

In a similar move before the 2011 election, which he won, Museveni released the song "Mpenkoni", loosely meaning "give me a walking stick".

Museveni has already been given the green light to represent his National Resistance Movement (NRM) party in next year's election.
