Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda’s Chief of Defense Forces and son of the country’s current president, Yoweri Museveni, has once again relayed his intentions to run for president.
The Ugandan military chief disclosed via his X page that, with the blessing of his father, he would be participating in the 2031 presidential elections.
“I will stand for the highest office in the land in 2031. And we will win by the grace of Almighty God,” he tweeted, shortly after running a poll to see how many of his followers are in support of the idea.
Furthermore, he stated that his father, whom he typically addresses as Mzee, will direct his campaign and assist him in securing 90% of the vote.
Although General Muhoozi Kainerugaba has previously expressed an interest in succeeding his father as president, he has now established a specific timeline for his candidacy.
