Mystery son plunges Uganda into turmoil over the succession of King Oyo

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleThe Ugandan government is attempting to resolve a fierce royal succession dispute in the Tooro Kingdom following the death of King Oyo Nyimba aged 34. King Oyo's scheduled burial on Saturday cannot take place until a successor is officially confirmed to perform traditional royal rituals. A royal clan succession panel named Oyo's cousin, state broadcaster news anchor Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma, as the next monarch.

Negotiations involving the central government, the royal family, and clan representatives are ongoing to settle the dispute ahead of the funeral.
