The Ugandan parliament has passed the bill to lift the age limit for the presidential candidates on December 20 2017. From the hot seating at the Uganda Parliament, 317 politicians voted in favour and 97 voted against lifting the age limit.

After three days of debate, MPs voted overwhelmingly to remove the age limit of 75 for presidential candidates.

This means that the 73-year-old President Yoweri Museveni, who has ruled for more than 30 years, can seek re-election in 2021.

A two-term limit was scrapped in 2005 to allow Mr Museveni to stand for a third term.

But that limit has been reinstated following criticism that Mr Museveni could now become president for life.
