President Yoweri Museveni has sacked his long time confidant Amama Mbabazi from the position of prime minister, and replaced him with Dr Ruhakana Rugunda, in what political watchers say will end the uncertainty that was eating into the party members’ loyalty, and project the Head of State as a resolute leader.
The sacking of Mr Mbabazi, five months after he was almost relieved of his duties as secretary-general of the ruling National Resistance Movement, also laid bare determination to stop any opposition to President Museveni’s candidature in the 2016 elections.
