Uganda's Tooro Kingdom Crowns Journalist Amid Heir Dispute

Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma, a 56-year-old former journalist, has been crowned the 13th king of Uganda's Tooro Kingdom, succeeding the late King Oyo. The coronation, which took place in Fort Portal, resolved a bitter succession dispute after a 21-member royal committee bypassed a will naming an unpublicized son in favor of Kijanangoma, a cousin from the ruling Babiito lineage. The event was attended by President Yoweri Museveni, though the late king's family remains opposed to the outcome.

Uganda pays respects to a former boy king as Tooro throne tensions flare

Uganda is mourning the burial of a former Tooro kingdom monarch once known as a youthful “boy king” while a renewed fight over the Tooro throne unfolds. The piece notes the king’s connections to Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi and recalls the monarchy’s revival in 1993; while Uganda’s traditional kingdoms wield no political power, they still serve as custodians of culture, making the burial a focal point for ongoing succession maneuvering within Tooro.

Tooro burial overshadowed by royal succession row

Uganda's Tooro king Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, who died of cancer in the US, was laid to rest amid tensions over his heir: clan elders named TV presenter Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma as the next monarch, a choice disputed by the king’s family who point to a 2022 will naming his young son as successor. The royal household faced movement restrictions, with security and guards withdrawn, as religious leaders and President Museveni urged unity rather than division.
