Uganda's ruling party seeking to remove the age limit for presidential elections

(AP) Officials with Uganda's ruling party want to remove the age limit on the presidency so long-time President Yoweri Museveni can run again, a spokesman said Wednesday.

Museveni, who took power by force in this East African country in 1986, was re-elected in a disputed election in February. His current term expires in 2021. 

Museveni, who turns 72 later this year, is constitutionally barred from running again but can seek re-election if lawmakers throw out the age clause to effectively hand him the presidency for life
