General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, head of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces, has published a seven-point political programme announcing the formation of a party. His plan promises, among other things, to remove corrupt and elderly leaders from power, weeks after he announced his presidential ambitions, according to Tuko.

The announcement comes after the Uganda Patriotic League backed Muhoozi Kainerugaba for the 2031 presidential election on 21 September. Two days before the programme was published, his father, President Yoweri Museveni, had praised his anti-corruption work in the Ugandan army.
