Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has appointed Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo as acting Foreign Affairs minister. The appointment, formalized in a letter dated June 22, 2026, is temporary, pending the selection of a permanent replacement. Kasolo currently holds the position of state minister for Foreign Affairs (Regional Cooperation). Museveni cited Article 99(1) of the Ugandan Constitution as the legal basis for the interim appointment. The move follows a vacancy in the Foreign Affairs ministry, necessitating temporary leadership. No timeframe was given for the appointment of a substantive minister. This appointment ensures continued operation of the ministry during the transition period.
