Museveni's son General Muhoozi has left many upset after stating no civilian would ever rule Uganda after his dad exits the Presidency.
In a now-deleted tweet, Muhoozi posted
"No civilian will lead Uganda after resident Museveni. The security forces will not allow it. The next leader will be a soldier or a policeman
He went ahead to deny that he wouldn't vie for a political seat in 2026 further asking people to support Museveni's on his quest to vie for Presidency for the 7th time.
"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."
Muhoozi further added
"For me, NOTHING on this earth is more Holier than UPDF! So, I cannot think of a greater honour than being in UPDF. It is Holy Ground!! God bless Holy UPDF and Sacred Uganda forever!!!
Muhoozi is the Ugandan Chief of Defence Forces.
This is not the first time the General has sparked controversy with his remarks.
