A top member of first son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s MK Movement has claimed that the political group has received reliable leaked information that tens of MPs and ministers of President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) are planning to endorse him as a sole candidate for the 2026 presidential election.

Internal affairs minister Maj Gen (Rtd) Kahinda Otafiire has spoken out on reports that he is backing his son, a soldier, to challenge President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s quest to replace his aged father who has ruled Uganda for nearly four decades.

A meeting between Ugandan President Gen Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni and Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, his son, advisor and leader of the MK Movement, has become a talking point after photos from the convention. This State House meeting between Museveni and his son Gen Kainerugaba’s MK Movement Central Executive Committee (CEC) members is some sort of moment of truth for Ugandans and observers closely following the debate on transition and or succession from the nearly four decades of the NRA/NRM rule.

The fallout between Namyalo and Kitata is said to have been occasioned by some sort of power struggle between the two prominent ONC officials, with the PRO reportedly working to outshine his boss. Some reports even indicated that Kitata had attempted to meet Gen Museveni who was shocked and called Namyalo to understand why she sent the Lwengo LCV boss to represent her for an important meeting with the country’s number one.

It was, therefore, not surprising that social media tried to drag Che Otafiire, one of Kahinda Otafiire’s son, into the 2026 presidential race. Che is a soldier – just like his father, Museveni and his son Muhoozi.

So, when Aber shared about how grateful she was for getting an opportunity “to join my next president SPA/SO -Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba on this crucial diplomatic mission to Rwanda as he continues to build bridges and deepen bilateral relations,” one social media troll reminded her that Muhoozi was happily married to Charlotte Nankunda.

A senior minister and member of President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s government has said that first son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba is not a member of the National Resistance Movement (NRM). 

Ugandan first son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has announced he is standing for president in the 2026 elections, telling his father and the old guard that he and his ‘generation of young people’ are tired of ‘waiting forever.’
