According to Ugandan law, serving soldiers cannot participate in politics.But Museveni's son's supporters have been conducting online and street campaigns for Kainerugaba candidature.
Museveni, Africa’s fourth-longest serving president of the eastern African country since 1986, an election marked by violence for which he emerged winner, is believed to be preparing his son a lieutenant general, to potentially succeed him. Uhoozi Kainerugaba announced on Twitter on March 8 that he had retired from the military after almost three decades in service. This gave way for speculations that he, Kainerugaba 47 was preparing to enter politics on a possible path to contest the presidency in the next election in 2026 even though Kainerugaba has not said any thing about it. But Uganda’s military has denied his resignation.
“The general has not retired from the army, he is still in active service. The army promotions and the commissions board, which is the military body mandated with handling retirement requests, has not received his application.” Chris Magezi, spokesman for the land forces, told Reuters
