Toro Kingdom

Ugandan journalist Edward Rukidi Kijanjaunga has been chosen as the new king of the Toro Kingdom following the death of King Oyo at 34, sparking succession disputes and family backlash.

Oyo Nyimba was crowned King of the Kingdom of Toro in 1995 after his father's death, when he was only 3 years old. In Uganda, there are traditional kingdoms whose political power is symbolic, but their cultural and social influence is significant. Will there be an heir to the royal house?
