Blow to President Museveni as His Ruling Party NRM Rejects His Son Muhoonzi as Successor

Uganda’s ruling party has pushed back against a reported plan to position General Muhoozi Kainerugaba as President Yoweri Museveni's successor, exposing growing resistance within the party to a possible family handover of power. According to AFP, five people who attended a closed-door meeting of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) executive committee said members opposed Kainerugaba’s proposed candidacy during discussions on Tuesday.
