Muhoozi, the son of President Yoweri Museveni, resurfaced on X with his trademark provocative posts, this time issuing threats against the National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate. Shortly afterwards, Muhoozi emerged with a flurry of tweets that appeared to validate Wine’s fears, threatening to “extinguish” him and his party. In subsequent posts on Monday, Muhoozi escalated his remarks, alleging that 22 NUP supporters had already been killed. On Monday, Wine responded to Muhoozi, saying he would emerge from hiding at a time of his choosing.
