Andrew Mwenda to Host Bobi Wine-Muhoozi Kainerugaba Conference to Discuss 2026 Election

Veteran journalist Andrew Mujuni Mwenda says he will hold a conference where he will host first son and commander land forces (CLF) Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba as well as National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine to discuss the 2026 presidential election.

Kainerugaba’s father President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s current five-year term ends in 2026.

By then, Museveni will have ruled Uganda for four decades.

Museveni took power in 1986 following a five-year bush war that left hundreds of thousands dead in what is currently called the Luweero Triangle.

The 76-year-old Museveni has been rumored to be grooming his son Lt Gen Kainerugaba to succeed him.

The Muhoozi Project, as the rumor started by former spymaster Gen David Tinyefuuza (Sejusa), remains a key aspect of the Museveni succession plan.

Although he and his father had previously dismissed the Muhoozi Project, in 2020, the first son said his generation had turned the rumored plan into a blessing.

Bobi Wine lost the 2021 presidential election to Muhoozi’s father Museveni.

He has also previously accused Kainerugaba of harassing his NUP supporters, and has severally urged his western allies to slap sanctions against him and his father.

Now, Mwenda, the controversial journalist and commentator who has worked for both President Museveni and Rwanda’s Paul Kagame, has hinted at a meeting where both Bobi Wine and Kainerugaba attend to discuss the next presidential election.

Sharing a photo of Bobi Wine and Kainerugaba meeting years ago, Mwenda said he would use his skills as the Old Man of the Clan, as he calls himself, to make his grandchildren meet.

“My grand children Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba and Bobi Wine meeting the good old days,” noted Mwenda.

“As the Old Man of the Clan, I want to organize another conference like this where we can discuss the 2026 election and how to move this country forward! Do you read me?”
