Royal family rift after popular TV news presenter chosen to succeed Ugandan king
King Oyo's family say he left a will naming his young son as heir to the Tooro kingdom.
BBC World•
A bitter succession dispute has erupted in one of Uganda's traditional kingdoms, days before the burial of its late king, who until his death had been the world's youngest reigning monarch.
King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, who ruled the Tooro Kingdom for more than three decades, was undergoing cancer treatment in the US when he died last month aged 34.
Royal clan elders have named popular TV news presenter Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma, 56, as the next monarch, but this has been rejected by Oyo's close family.
No other details have officially been disclosed, and he had not previously been presented as Oyo's heir.
