“Never Will Gen Muhoozi Ever Become President, Museveni Dynasty is Coming To An End” Presidential Aspirant Assures Ugandans

Ugandan businessman and political figure Joseph Kabuleta has officially announced his candidacy for the 2026 presidential elections, vowing to challenge the political status quo with a firm stance against the perceived succession plans within the ruling establishment.

Speaking at a press briefing, Kabuleta declared his full commitment to the race and did not hold back in his criticism of the ruling elite. “There will never come a day when Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba becomes President,” he stated emphatically, dismissing the notion of President Museveni handing power to his son and declaring an end to what he called the Museveni political dynasty.

His remarks come in the wake of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba—currently serving as Chief of Defence Forces (CDF)—announcing that he will not run for president in 2026. Instead, Gen. Muhoozi has publicly urged Ugandans to support his father, President Yoweri Museveni, for another term in office.

Despite Muhoozi’s announcement, insiders suggest that factions within the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), a group closely aligned with him, had been actively encouraging his candidacy. For now, however, Muhoozi appears to have stepped back from the presidential race.

In a separate address, Gen. Muhoozi emphasized that the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) will play a key role in safeguarding the 2026 elections. He issued a warning that any attempt to disrupt the peace would be dealt with decisively.

Kabuleta’s bold rhetoric has sparked discussion among political observers and the Ugandan public, particularly among young voters and those pushing for political transition. His outspoken opposition to the idea of a Museveni-Muhoozi succession has added new energy to the evolving political narrative ahead of 2026.

With both veteran politicians and emerging challengers preparing their campaigns, the 2026 general elections are already shaping up to be a pivotal moment in Uganda’s political history.
