Mbu he has been named King? ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ A King is born into the throne, not elected. If he is the rightful successor, say he has been named successor. How exactly do you elect a King? ๐ These people need to check themselves.
I have no problem with George Kamurasi becoming the next King of Tooro. Our problem was never the rightful successorโit was the greedy uncle who seemed determined to put personal interests above the Kingdom. Thank God, the King-to-be appears to be a man who knows and fears God.

The Royal Succession Committee of Toro Kingdom met today September 4, 2026 at Fort Motel in Fort Portal City and selected George Desmond Kamurasi (36) as the next king of Toro. He succeeds his late cousin, Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi 1V who died on August 26, 2026 in Texas USA.
The committee, which was selected by the Royal Clan of Toro (Ababiito) on August 28th 2026, is chaired by Omusuuga Charles Akiiki Kamurasi. Composed of 21 members, it has been meeting every day since Monday September 31. Today they met from 11am to 3pm. Out of 21 members, 18 attended todayโs meeting out of whom 15 voted for George Kamurasi.
George Kamurasi is the son of George Desmond [Jimmy] Mugenyi, young brother to Patrick David Mathew Olimi Kaboyo 11. He was the second in line of succession to his brother Olimi Kaboyo 11, according to the will of their late father, His Majesty King George Rukidi iii.
This evening I have held discussions with the CDF of UDPF who is also chairman of PLU, Gen Muhoozi Keinerugaba, and the CLF, Gen Kayanja Muhanga, and informed both of these developments. Gen Keinerugaba fully endorses the choice of the Succession Committee of Toro because it is consistent with the customs, all precedents and laws of Toro on succession.
The CDF has said that President Yoweri Museveni supports the decision of the Royal Committee on Succession. He sent a team led by a senior cabinet minister to Fort Portal. After extensive consultations with all the key stakeholders, the committee was convinced that there is a wide consensus around the succession of Kamurasi.
We now await the Omusuuga to make a formal announcement officially to the Babiito clan leaders. I have spoken to Omusuuga who has told me that according to custom, the public announcement is done after the burial. I have made this announcement to avoid social media speculation that may cause unnecessary confusion.
Letโs pray for Tooro.
Letโs pray for the Queen Mother and Sister.
May God hold them and see them through this tough time ๐๐ญ
Each pic/video seems so unreal and like a bad dream.
On other days, youโre free. No interruptions, no programs, nothing. But then that one day comes, and suddenly you have meetings, auditions, functions, and everything happening at once. You start asking yourself, are you going for the money or the art? Honestly, I donโt understand
Our TV shows have lost their value. What happened to the standards? When did quality, originality, and good storytelling become less important than simply getting attention? #tv#value#standards
Nothingโs harder than being a teen who doesnโt know their worth yet.
Some look grown but ainโt there mentally โ easy to buy off with 100-200k and a plate of food, when they could be making way more if they knew their value.
Find your flame. Go all in on it. #potential#teen
We shall miss you King Oyo.
The thing about King Oyo, is that he really was one of us. For many people, we grew up with him. He was a silent reminder of humility regardless of who you were.
Tooro lost a King. Uganda lost a familiar relatable human being. He was โourโ King.
