Uganda: Will Muhoozi Kainerugaba Become Uganda's Next President?

Ugandan president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has named his son General Muhoozi Kainerugaba as the country's Chief of Defence Forces .

Muhoozi and his father would come out to strongly deny the charge even as the first son continued to enjoy rapid promotion in the Uganda People's Defence Forces which he joined in 1999. At the time of the Sejusa revelation, Muhoozi had been named head the Special Forces Command in 2012 which is charged with protecting the head of state and first family.

Kagame would then attend Muhoozi's 48th birthday celebration in Kampala in April 2022, further warming relations between the two countries which had once been close allies. Kagame had actually participated in the five-year bush war that propelled Museveni to power in Uganda. Uganda was then accused of funding and assisting the Rwandan Patriotic Front , which Kagame led, take power in 1994.

Out of the seeming blue, Muhoozi would also tweet that the Ugandan army he now heads could march and capture Nairobi, the capital city of its largest trade partner Kenya, in three weeks. He would then take his very limelight averse wife Charlotte for a tour of the district where he lived as a refugee baby while his parents conspired underground to remove the successive governments of Idi Amin and Milton Obote.
