Although the current President has not made an effort to groom a successor from the ruling National Resistance Movement, his wife Hon. Janet Museveni, MP who recently became appointed Minister and his son, Lt. Col. Muhoozi Kainerugaba are front runners. 
Ingawa Rais wa sasa hakufanya juhudi zozote za kumuandaa mrithi wa kiti chake kutoka katika chama chake cha National Resistance Movement, Vuguvugu, mkewe ambaye pia ni Mbunge, Janet Museveni, ambaye pia hivi karibuni ameteuliwa kuwa Waziri na mtoto wake, Luteni Kanali Muhoozi Kainerugaba, hawa wako mstari wa mbele.
