Museveni promotes son to army chief, sparking concerns over Uganda's political future
-
President Museveni promoted his son Muhoozi Kainerugaba to head of the Ugandan army, raising concerns he is grooming him to be president.

Kainerugaba's rapid rise in the army over the past decades has been referred to as the "Muhoozi Project."
-
Recently Kainerugaba held political rallies and launched an activist group, violating laws against partisan politics for serving army officers.

Critics say Kainerugaba's rise signals Uganda moving towards hereditary rule after Museveni's 38 years in power.

Appointing Kainerugaba army chief and a ministerial reshuffle suggest a political transition may be underway in Uganda.
