Ugandan Royal Family Faces Turmoil Over Succession Dispute
Following the death of Uganda’s King Oyo, a succession dispute has arisen in the Tooro Kingdom. Royal clan elders have nominated TV presenter Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma as the new king, but the late king’s family opposes this, citing his will naming his son as heir.
