Uganda's Toro Kingdom succession dispute pits committee against royal family

A succession crisis has emerged in Uganda's Toro kingdom following the death of King Oyo Nyimba, with a royal committee and the late king's family backing rival candidates. The family's claim that the late monarch fathered a son is being disputed, raising uncertainty over the throne's legitimacy. This internal dynastic struggle could affect regional political dynamics in western Uganda, though its national impact remains limited.
