BREAKING: Gen Katumba Wamala Speaks Out on His Alleged 2026 Presidential Ambitions; Clears Air on His Rumored Muhoozi-Like Birthday Party Preparations

Works and Transport Minister Gen Edward Katumba Wamala has spoken out on reports that he and his supporters were planning a mega 67th birthday bash in preparation for a 2026 presidential run launch. 

Hours ago, The Pearl Times reported that some ‘supporters’ of Gen Katumba Wamala were planning a mega birthday bash similar to what first son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba held recently, and that some people were reportedly asking him (Katumba Wamala) to run for president in the so-called Katumba Wamala Project. (Read Story Here).

But hours after posters of an alleged ‘Katumba Wamala’ Project and birthday bash started circulating online, Gen Katumba Wamala has spoken out on the alleged party and ‘project.’

A former UPDF and Uganda Police Force (UPF) chief, Gen Katumba Wamala has dismissed the rumored birthday bash and ‘project.’

“Please disregard it and treat it with the contempt it deserves,” he said.
