MPs slam Gen Muhoozi over endorsing father Museveni for 2026 election

The Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba's conduct on social media became a subject of debate on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday as opposition MPs called for disciplinary action and a House probe for engaging in partisan politics.

The 50-year-old First Son on Saturday stirred social media with posts endorsing his ageing father as he warned that no civilian would be allowed to take over from Mr Museveni who has ruled Uganda since 1986 when he shot his way to State House through a five-year guerilla warfare.

Should Ugandans start preparing for life after Mr Museveni?

Gen Muhoozi who also serves as senior presidential advisor special operations called on his “supporters” to vote his father in the 2026 general election after declaring that he had dropped his presidential bid.

The former head of the elite Special Forces Command (SFC) charged with protecting the First Family and government’s key installations has over two years been traversing the country holding public birthday celebrations and events in what critics said was strategizing to inherit the presidency.
