The 1995 constitution bars any person above 75 to stand for president and Besigye stated that he will not be surprised if the president decided to press for amendment of that clause.

The president is 72 and will be ineligible to contest in 2021 if the constitution is not amended.

In related reports, there is said to be a growing cry for the president to reveal his choice for successor in the NRM.
