The president of the National Unity Platform (NUP), Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, alias Bobi Wine, has called upon Ugandans to desist from facilitating the ascension of Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to the presidency.
Gen Muhoozi, the first son and presidential advisor on special operations, has expressed interest in taking over from his father as the leader of the country.
Kyagulanyi while in Kasese yesterday on his national tour, he urged Ugandans to prevent a potential power transition from the father to the son, asserting that Uganda is not a monarchy.
He criticised Gen Muhoozi’s countrywide political activities, saying he is distributing money to the people to garner support.
Kyagulanyi pledged to support the efforts to raise funds for the return of Rwenzururu King Charles Wesley Mumbere.
The Rwenzururu Kingdom plans to collect Shs9 billion to facilitate King Mumbere’s homecoming activities and to acquire Springs International Hotel as a new palace.
Kyagulanyi announced his intention to join the people of Kasese in welcoming their king, who is set to return on October 4 after nearly seven years away following his arrest in 2016.
Kyagulanyi concluded his western Uganda tour as he spent the better part of his day today in Kabale.
