One participant said Muhoozi's behaviour on social media had created uneasiness among party officials. The source argued that the army chief should convince Ugandans through public support rather than threats and intimidation. The opposition followed a proposal presented by President Yoweri Museveni in late October, suggesting that his son had the qualifications to succeed him.
The development comes days after Muhoozi announced plans to step down as Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces in the coming months. On November 6, he said he had completed his military responsibilities and intended to dedicate his life to Christ. However, the 52-year-old has already declared his intention to contest the presidency in 2031.
The succession debate has attracted regional attention because Museveni, 82, has governed Uganda since 1986. Uganda is Kenya's largest export destination within the East African Community, with trade between the two countries valued at approximately KSh126 billion.
Meanwhile, Muhoozi has continued to attract attention through controversial posts on X. Recently, he threatened to arrest Vice President Jessica Alupo over allegations that she was involved in a plot to overthrow the Ugandan government.
