Prominent businessman and philanthropist Sudhir Patel, founder of the Patel Group, publicly endorsed General Muhoozi Kainerugaba as his preferred candidate for Uganda’s 2031 presidential election. Speaking at a gala in Kampala, Sudhir praised Muhoozi’s “visionary leadership” and pledged to mobilize his network of investors to support the campaign. Political analysts note the endorsement could sway key business constituencies, while opposition leaders warn of growing militarization of politics.
