They want the age limit removed for Museveni to stand again and I have no choice but to take their petition to the party." Museveni was accused of bribing ruling party legislators in 2005 to amend the constitution to remove a two-term limit, although he denies the charge. All legislators from the ruling party are members of the committee. A legislator from the ruling party said on Thursday she would petition top party officials to begin the process by which parliament would remove an age limit that now bars Museveni from standing for another term. Museveni, now 71, would be ineligible to seek re-election in 2021, when the next vote is due.
