 Uganda president's son Muhoozi Kainerugaba declares 2031 presidential bid


Uganda's military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is also the son of the country's President Yoweri Museveni, said he would run for president in 2031.


Kainerugaba, 52, has long been touted as a possible successor to his father.


"I will stand for the highest office in the land in 2031. And we will win by the grace of Almighty God," Kainerugaba said in one of a series of posts on the X platform late on Tuesday.


"With my great father, Mzee's, support I will get 90% in the elections in 2031," he added using an honorific reference to his 81-year-old father.


Kainerugaba, who leads a political pressure group called the Patriotic League of Uganda, had previously declared he would stand in the last election in January but ultimately backed out.


Museveni, who heads the ruling National Resistance Movement party, has ruled Uganda since 1986. He won a seventh term in office following elections held in January 2026.


The country's main opposition leader, Bobi Wine, fled to the US earlier this year, saying he feared for his life. Another veteran opposition figure, Kizza Besigye, has been in prison since 2024 and is on trial for treason.


When asked if Museveni would seek another term, government spokesman Alan Kasujja told Reuters, "as has been the case over the years, President Museveni and the party he leads will make that decision when the time comes."
