The NRA was led by Yoweri Museveni , who was able to take power in Uganda in 1986. The Museveni government was legitimized in the 1996 presidential elections and the NRA was renamed the Uganda People's Defense Force .

As in many other African resistance movements , there were child soldiers in the ranks of the NRA .
