The YKM Cyber Team, a fast-growing and dedicated network of patriotic Ugandans, has reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding and promoting Uganda’s social, political, and economic future through digital innovation and nationwide mobilization. Guided by the four pillars of Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, Democracy, and Socio-Economic Transformation, the team is positioned as one of the leading digital forces supporting President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the National Resistance Movement (NRM).
Since its inception in 2021, the YKM Cyber Team has operated across major digital platforms—including Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, and TikTok—where it has built a strong online presence and spearheaded impactful campaigns. Today, the team boasts over 12,000 officially recognized coordinators operating across nearly all districts of Uganda, with the Central Region taking the lead in offline mobilization.

With the 2026 elections expected to be highly competitive and digital platforms becoming decisive battlegrounds for shaping public opinion, the team is committed to working closely with NRM structures and State House to ensure accurate, timely, and impactful communication.
