What you need to know.
The Kyabazinga of Busoga is the King and ruler of Busoga, His title “Isebantu” means father of the people.
This name was a symbol of unity derived from the expression and recognition by the people of Busoga that their leader was the “father of all people who brings all of them together”, and who also serves as their cultural leader. Traditionally, the Kyabazinga throne rotates between chiefs in a timely election of the Lukiiko.
Election
The Kyabazingaship in Busoga is an elected post. The Kyabazinga was initially chosen from among the five hereditary chiefs who trace their ancestry directly from Bunyoro-Kitara. Busoga’s constitution has been modified to allow all 11 hereditary chiefs to stand for election as Kyabazinga.
As of May 2018, the post is elected for life, which has been the case since November 2017.[6] However, between 1993 and 2000,[7] and for the 2014 election,[8] under Articles 6 and 8 of the Busogan constitution, appointments were for five years only.
