CONFIRMED: Muhoozi Will Be on the Ballot Paper in 2026

A ruling NRM MP and famous advocate of the Muhoozi Project as well as a government minister  have confirmed that first son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba will be on the ballot paper in 2026. 

The youthful Kashambya MP David Kabanda and State Minister for Microfinance Haruna Kasolo Kyeyune say they are certain that Lt Gen Kainerugaba will be on the ballot paper in the next presidential election.

“Come 2026, Lt Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba will be on the ballot,” confirmed MP Kabanda during Tuesday night’s NBS Barometer show.

“It’s now crystal clear that Gen Muhoozi is coming,” submitted Minister Kasolo.

But veteran journalist Andrew Mwenda, a renowned Muhoozi strategist, recently suggested that Muhoozi could contest in 2031.

For Lt Gen Kainerugaba to join politics, he must retire from the army.

The first son, who is also the Commander of UPDF Land Forces, recently announced that will retire from the military in 2030. (Read Story Here).

That will just be a year to the 2031 presidential elections.

But recent Muhoozi 48th birthday celebrations seems to point to a 2026 presidential bid.

Muhoozi previously revealed that he was never interested in power and politics but was made popular by Gen David Sejusa and other haters through the ‘Muhoozi Project’ talk. (Read Story Here).

Days ago, the first son announced he was interested in taking power, becoming president, and added that his bid was unstoppable. (Read Story Here).

Muhoozi also said he would soon announce his political program for the 2026 presidential election. (Read Story Here).
