Kenya’s Deputy President Kithure Kindiki is attending the inauguration of President Yoweri Museveni for a seventh consecutive term in office as President of Uganda.
Kindiki is representing President William Ruto, who is hosting the ongoing Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi.
Several leaders from across Africa are attending the summit, which is being co-hosted alongside President Emmanuel Macron of France.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta is also attending Museveni’s inauguration ceremony at the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds.
Uhuru also attended a State Dinner hosted by Museveni at Speke Resort Convention Centre in honour of Heads of State, government representatives, leaders, and distinguished guests ahead of the presidential inauguration.
More than 50 international delegations, including Heads of State and senior government officials, are expected to witness Museveni officially take the oath of office following his re-election on January 15, 2026.
Meanwhile, security agencies have already intensified deployments and carried out last-minute drills, while infrastructure upgrades and the arrival of foreign dignitaries continue ahead of what organisers describe as a smooth and highly secured ceremony.
