Son of long-serving Museveni to run for Uganda presidency in 2026
Al JazeeraThe outspoken army general seems intent on replacing his father, who has ruled the East African country for 37 years, as president. The son of Uganda’s ageing leader, Yoweri Museveni, has said he intends to stand for the presidency in 2026, the first time the outspoken army general has given a timeline for replacing his father, who has ruled the East African country for 37 years. Okay, in the name of Jesus Christ my God, in the name of all the young people of Uganda and the world and in the name of our great revolution, I will stand for the Presidency in 2026,” Museveni’s son Muhoozi Kainerugaba wrote on Twitter late on Wednesday. But he was also crucial in repairing strained relations between Uganda and neighbouring Rwanda, ending a rift between Museveni and former protege Paul Kagame, whom Kainerugaba calls his uncle, in 2022.
