A social post from former Prime Minister of Uganda, Dr Ruhakana Rugunda has attracted mixed reactions on social media especially twitter after he made a ‘sudden’ post revealing how he has no intentions to become Uganda’s next President.

“I have read social media posts and suggestions that I should run for President in 2026. I would like to make it known that I have no such intentions or plans,” Rugunda said in a tweet on Tuesday, August 31.
