Political philosophers such as Niccole Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes have explained politics very well and I am extremely privileged to deeply dissect the political analysis of the unstoppable power of Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainarugaba.

It’s only the Elite class, who are clever and insightful thinkers who will definitely understand this complex and complicated political logical analysis.

Currently, all the political opponents of President Museveni are certainly aware that Lt. Gen. Muhoozi is fully prepared to succeed his liberal father and even the most historical, who were against Lt. Gen. Muhoozi’s political ambitions, are gradually accepting defeat upon realizing that they have no option apart from joining the winning team.

But interestingly, they are aware that he is going to elevate many new comers on board.

In France, Louis Rose ascended to the throne when he was four years old and assumed actual control over the government in 1661, at the age of twenty-three, the state over which he reigned was nearly bankrupt; the generals and officers of the army saw their sources of money and privilege drying up and this is the same precedence why most historicals are not in support of the Muhoozi project.

But again, the chief planner outsmarts all of them combined and they are going to be retired from the army due to their disloyalty and he will usher in his new force of loyal cadres ready to fight to the last man.

In politics, there are three classes; the nominal selectorate, the real selectorate, and the winning Coalition.

The nominal selectorate (wanayachi) includes everyone eligible to vote and they are always in bandwagon and politically they have a less say, can easily be manipulated but are the majority and currently, they are praising Gen. muhoozi as their next president.

I don’t know if their support is genuine.

Another class is the real selectorate, these are very influential in our society, the likes of all political leaders, RDCs.

That explains the recent match between the MPs and the army in celebration of Gen. Muhoozi’s birthday. A few days after, Chairpersons  LC5’s and RDCs openly vowed to support him in the presidential bid.

The last group is a winning coalition and their support is essential and these include judges, military officers, and senior civil servants.

Currently, Lt. Gen. Muhoozi is silently developing a symbiotic relationship with his inner circle where many youths with development project proposals are being supported and these are powerful elite civilian that are always on social media defending him.

This group has outshined the NUP extremist social media group and I can confidently prophesy that Muhoozi’s regime will be similar to his uncle’s in Rwanda or former president of Ghana Rawling’s.

I know the opponents are afraid of being detained, liquidated, arrested and tortured or being subjected to all sorts of molestation (the military regime Akuna muchezo).

In reality, Uganda needs a peacemaker as leader who has the capacity to reconcile and unite people regardless their political affiliation, and over years, President Museveni has been at the fore front of reconciliation.

Many people could not believe that Museveni could pardon his longtime critic Chris Rwakasisi, but he did.

During his time as minister, Rwakasisi warned Museveni and his supporters that if they were not careful, he was going to finish them off such that the incoming generation would ask what they looked like.

“Mugambire Museveni na beene wabo ngu nitwiija kukashanga luwero tukatsigyeyo”, literally translated to mean, “tell this museveni and his kinsmen that we will follow him in Luweero and kill him”.

He further made other ridiculous statements like when he was chairing a meeting in Kamukuzi Hall, addressing UPC youth wingers on how to expel Rwandans, Rwakasisi reportedly said, “let me ask you. When a dog litters puppies in a cows’ kraal, do the puppies turn into calves?”

Rwakasisi used his powerful oratory skills to instill fear among those who sought to oppose the UPC regime. He was the only minister who had female escorts and very beautiful female drivers and while addressing rallies across the country, Rwakasisi would assure his listeners that not even God could remove Obote and UPC from office.

Remember, Rwakasisi was the only man who could enter Obote’s bedroom while armed, the man was extremely bitter and proud but eventually President Museveni forgave the man and this ranked him as a leader who doesn’t believe in revenge. Due to his kind heart, the country has been able to move forward.

Conclusively, it may sound illusion and unrealistic but phenotypically, Gen. Muhoozi has most of his father’s characters and it’s ridiculous that most people have been critizing him negatively.

Even Lee Kuan Yew’s son, Lee Hsien Loong faced the same criticism in Singapore but eventually succeeded his father and I believe the Muhoozi project is no longer a myth but a reality. The most important question that we should all ask is who will choose Lt. Gen. Muhoozi?

Will it be parliament or the general public!

But as a political analyst, the safest route would be the parliamentary system and expect him to retire from the army very soon, plus of course, that bill will very soon be tabled on the floor of parliament
