BREAKING NEWS: Omusuuga Denies Confirming Mwenda’s Claim on Tooro Succession

The Tooro succession debate has taken a new turn after Omusuuga Charles Akiiki Kamurasi, chairman of the Royal Succession Committee, declined to confirm claims made by journalist Andrew Mwenda that the committee had selected George Desmond Kamurasi as the proposed successor to the late King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV.

Mwenda reported that the 21-member Royal Succession Committee met at Fort Motel in Fort Portal on September 4. According to his account, 18 members attended the meeting, with 15 reportedly supporting George Desmond Kamurasi.

However, when asked about the reported selection, Omusuuga Charles Akiiki Kamurasi reportedly declined to confirm the claim, saying:

“I have nothing to comment on that. Where you got that, I don’t know and therefore I can’t say anything.”

The response has added uncertainty to the succession discussions and raised questions about whether a formal decision has actually been reached by the appropriate royal authorities.

The disagreement also highlights the importance of waiting for an official communication from the Tooro Kingdom and the Babiito royal leadership before declaring a new Omukama.

For now, George Desmond Kamurasi should be described as a reported or proposed choice rather than the confirmed successor.

As Tooro Kingdom continues mourning the death of King Oyo, public attention remains firmly focused on the royal succession process and the eventual announcement of the next Omukama.
