SHOCKING! Muhoozi Turns Guns On Alupo, Warns She Could Lose Her Job Over Links With Elwelu

Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has reportedly widened his confrontation over retired General Peter Elwelu by directing fresh accusations at Vice President Jessica Alupo, whom he allegedly suspects of supporting the former Deputy Chief of Defence Forces.

In remarks attributed to Muhoozi, the military chief warned that Alupo could face serious consequences if claims of her alleged involvement in supporting Elwelu are established. He reportedly went further by threatening that the Vice President could soon be removed from her government position.

The latest development has introduced another explosive political dimension to the growing controversy surrounding Elwelu, whose arrest and continued detention have generated anxiety within the security establishment and among political leaders in eastern Uganda.

Alupo’s alleged connection to the matter is particularly sensitive because she comes from the Teso sub-region, the same area where Elwelu enjoys considerable historical and social connections. Muhoozi reportedly suggested that his support in Teso remains strong, sending a message that regional political influence would not shield anyone found to have participated in activities considered hostile to the government.

The accusations come against the backdrop of heightened tension following Elwelu’s arrest on November 2, 2026, over allegations of involvement in subversive activities and attempts to destabilise the Teso region.

Military spokesperson Col. Chris Magezi previously disclosed that security personnel had recovered 15 firearms, military fatigues and two pickup trucks allegedly connected to the retired general. However, the allegations surrounding Elwelu remain subject to investigation.

The unfolding situation has also attracted the attention of Teso political leaders. Members of the Teso Parliamentary Group reportedly held discussions with Alupo before appealing to President Yoweri Museveni and Muhoozi to find an amicable solution to the matter. They expressed concern that Elwelu’s arrest was creating uncertainty and anxiety among residents of the sub-region.

Muhoozi’s reported threats against Alupo have now raised further questions about the political consequences of the Elwelu saga, particularly the relationship between regional leaders and the country’s military command.

Nevertheless, no independently verified evidence has publicly established that Alupo supported Elwelu’s alleged activities. The accusations attributed to Muhoozi have also not been accompanied by publicly disclosed findings proving her involvement.

As of November 10, 2026, President Museveni and the government have not announced any decision to remove Alupo from office. She continues to serve as Uganda’s Vice President.

The controversy is increasingly testing the boundaries between military authority and civilian political leadership, with the possibility of further confrontations adding to uncertainty surrounding Uganda’s security and political landscape.
