Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has taken down his official X account following a harsh public critique of Vice President Jessica Alupo. The attack demanded her removal from office and accused her of disloyalty to President Yoweri Museveni. Kainerugaba, Museveni's son, accused Alupo of supporting opposition leader Amama Mbabazi during his failed 2016 presidential bid.
He also suggested shifting the vice presidency to Uganda's West Nile region, intending to appoint a candidate from that area. Kainerugaba claimed he was not interested in the position himself, instead focusing on prayer. The army chief deactivated his verified account, @mkainerugaba, making it appear inaccessible. The reason for the account's deactivation has not been disclosed.
Alupo, a retired army major, has been serving as Uganda's Vice President since May 2021 and was reappointed after the 2026 general elections.
