Speaking from his home in Rwakitura, Kiruhura District, on Sunday, Museveni said the victory showed broad support for the party across the country.
He added that it also marked a revival of unity and mobilisation at the grassroots level.
Museveni thanked many groups for helping keep the election period peaceful.
He praised the security forces, religious leaders, cultural leaders, and ordinary citizens for maintaining calm and order.
He said their cooperation made it possible for the country to hold a smooth election, despite the tension that often surrounds national votes.
The President-Elect also addressed issues raised by opposition supporters, saying that while some opponents disagree with his policies, they are not always acting with harmful intentions.
He warned, however, that violence and attempts to disrupt the voting process would not be tolerated.
Museveni said the government would respond firmly to any acts that threatened peace or public safety.
Looking ahead to his next term, Museveni outlined key priorities that he plans to focus on.
He said his government will continue to push for economic growth, improve infrastructure, and strengthen public services such as health and education.
He also stressed the need to support agriculture, which he said remains the backbone of Uganda’s economy.
Museveni argued that improving farming methods, increasing access to markets, and supporting farmers would help reduce poverty and raise living standards.
In addition, Museveni said his administration will continue efforts to improve security and protect the country from internal and external threats.
He noted that stability is essential for development, and that the government will work to maintain peace in all parts of Uganda.
