A new twist has emerged in the Tooro Kingdom succession debate after Ron Kazooba Kawamara, a cousin of the late King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, appeared to suggest that the former monarch left behind more than one child.
The revelation came on October 1, 2026, after an X user posted, “BABY OYO EXISTS.” Kawamara responded with the brief comment, “Babies :)”, sparking speculation that Oyo may have had more than one child.
The remark has attracted attention because the late king’s children have featured prominently in the succession dispute. Princess Ruth Komuntale and Queen Mother Best Kemigisa previously opposed the selection of Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma, with claims that Oyo had left a will naming his son as his successor.
However, Kawamara did not provide the names, ages or number of children he was referring to, leaving questions about their identities and whether they have been formally presented to the royal family.
The development comes shortly after Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I was crowned at Karuziika Palace in Fort Portal on September 29, 2026, following Oyo’s death on August 27 at the age of 34.
