Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has delivered his fate ahead of the 2026 General elections which are a couple of years away from now. The General who also doubles as the first son has in the past few months hinted at succeeding his father, Gen. Museveni for the country’s highest office.
Despite being an active military officer, he has engaged in activities deemed partisan contrary to the Forces’ code of conduct. A movement known as the Patriotic League of Uganda was even formed under his stewardship.
Word has even been moving around that the former SFC Commander might usurp power from his father if he doesn’t get the opportunity to legitimately replace him.
Additionally, it has been rumored that there has been tension in the first family regarding this matter. Apparently, the President had to take swift action to solve this.
Now Muhoozi himself has declared whether he will run for the country’s highest office or not. Taking to his X page which is a hub for controversy in regards to his opinions, he gave the final verdict.
He said that he won’t be running for the Presidency. Instead, he has chosen to endorse his father, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
Muhoozi claimed that the Almighty God wants him to first take care of his army. This has left some of his “foot soldiers” on social media dismayed. These too had become sort of a cult following towards him.
“I would like to announce that I will not be on the ballot paper in 2026. Almighty God told me to focus on His Army first. So, I fully endorse President Yoweri Museveni in the next elections.”

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
