CBS Radio host and journalist Meddie Nsereko has left listeners stunned after disclosing that all Resident District Commissioners (RDCs) have been instructed to remain on standby and prepare to advocate for candidate Muhoozi Kainerugaba in the event that his father, President Museveni, is unable to run in 2026.
This website has learned that during the Kyankwanzi retreat, Hajji Yunnus Kakande, the prominent Permanent Secretary in the President’s Office, conveyed a message to the RDCs that took them by surprise. Kakande advised the RDCs to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances, as there are potential indicators suggesting that Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), could emerge as the candidate for the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party, replacing President Museveni, who has held power for the past 35 years.
Recently, Gen Muhoozi has engaged with foreign diplomats and leaders from around the globe, including those from the UK, who express confidence in his ability to preserve the security and stability that Ugandans have experienced for the past 40 years. Acting on instructions from his father, Gen Museveni, he has also signed various economic and military agreements with international investors, demonstrating reassurance that the nation will remain secure even in the event of a transfer of power.
The rationale behind placing the RDCs on standby weeks before the presidential elections remains unclear, but our blog will continue to provide updates on this developing story.
