Video Of 86-Year-Old Ugandan Lawmaker, Moses Ali, Asking To Be Re-Elected Sparks Concern

Uganda’s 86-year-old lawmaker, Moses Ali, was captured on video appealing to constituents to re-elect him for another term in office.

Moses Ali is a Lieutenant General, Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister. 

He has been in government for 54 years and is vying for the Adjumani West parliamentary seat come 2026. 

A video shows him campaigning to his constituents while an interpreter stood beside him, repeating his words in a different language. 

However, what viewers noticed was the uncontrollable movements made by his limbs. 

Many questioned if he's healthy enough to be a lawmaker and asked him to focus on his health instead of seeking votes. 

See the video below.
