The Uganda Boxing Federation has released its official roadmap for the 2026 Executive Committee and General Assembly elections, formally opening a process that will conclude with polling at the end of February.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the federation confirmed that the electoral process is already underway following the appointment of a Returning Officer on 12 January 2026. UBF said the roadmap is designed to reinforce transparency and democratic governance as the sport prepares for a new leadership cycle.
The nomination phase will run from 24 January to 6 February, during which aspirants will collect and submit nomination forms at the UBF offices. The voters register will then be displayed at the federation offices from 6 February to 28 February to allow verification by eligible stakeholders. Candidates will be officially declared on 10 February.
Polling day is scheduled for 28 February, when voting will take place for delegates to the General Assembly, chairpersons of member bodies, and the UBF Executive Committee. Results will be announced immediately after counting. An appeals window will follow from 2 March to 3 March, marking the final stage of the electoral process.
UBF said the structured timeline is intended to resolve any inspection issues or complaints well before voting day. In its statement, the federation noted that “strong leadership and credible elections” are central to the continued growth of boxing in Uganda.
The elections come at a time when governance across Ugandan sport is under heightened scrutiny. UBF has positioned its electoral process as a benchmark for accountability, particularly against a wider national backdrop where governance challenges have been reported in other sectors.
The federation has called on all eligible clubs and stakeholders to actively participate, either by seeking office or by taking part in voter verification. The vote will determine the leadership that succeeds the current executive under president Moses Muhangi, whose tenure has coincided with increased visibility for Ugandan boxing and the national team, the Bombers, over the past four years.
