“Thank you Mr. Godfrey Kirumira and Mr. Sudhir Ruparelia for joining our cause and endorsing Gen. @mkainerugaba as the next President of Uganda,” Basaliza wrote.
He described the endorsement as a strong expression of confidence in Kainerugaba’s leadership, vision and commitment to Uganda’s future.

The endorsement adds the names of two prominent businessmen to the growing public discussion around Kainerugaba’s political ambitions and possible succession to the presidency.
Kainerugaba, Uganda’s First Son, who currently serves as Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, has increasingly featured in political discussions ahead of the country’s future leadership transition.
