Uganda’s Army Chief Muhoozi Calls for Bobi Wine’s Death After Museveni’s Re‑Election

The public death threats intensify fears of a harsher crackdown, focusing attention on Uganda’s fraught succession question.

Overview

  • Muhoozi Kainerugaba posted on X that he prayed Bobi Wine would be the “23rd” person killed, coupling the threat with insults and self-styled religious claims.
  • Bobi Wine says he is in hiding after a security raid on his home and reports his family cannot receive food because forces are blocking access.
  • The electoral commission declared President Yoweri Museveni the winner with 71.65% of the vote, while Bobi Wine was credited with 24.72% and rejected the results.
  • Observers and rights groups criticized the vote, citing days-long internet shutdowns and repression of the opposition.
  • Muhoozi, widely viewed as a possible successor, has a record of incendiary statements and actions, and analysts say upcoming appointments could signal whether he or figures like Salim Saleh gain influence.
