Alupo, however, cautioned the legislators against using the meeting to discuss individual political interests or personalities, insisting that the focus should be on matters affecting their constituents.
The meeting, expected to take place this week, will bring together legislators from the Teso sub-region and two opinion leaders from each district to discuss government achievements and development priorities for the region.
However, a message attributed to Alupo and reportedly shared in the Teso Parliamentary Group WhatsApp platform has attracted attention after it emerged on the X account of Kasambya County MP David Kabanda, a known supporter of Gen. Muhoozi.
In the message, Alupo said President Museveni had granted the legislators an opportunity to meet him, although the exact date had not yet been communicated.

She urged members to prepare a list of government interventions for which they were grateful, alongside pressing issues they wanted addressed during the current term.
Alupo, however, cautioned the legislators against using the meeting to discuss individual political interests or personalities, insisting that the focus should be on matters affecting their constituents.
She also made it clear that she would not entertain discussions about her own political future, saying her previous appointments to government positions were decisions made by Museveni, whom she referred to as Mzee.
“I personally will not allow anyone to raise any point about me because I don’t know how I was appointed Minister of Youth and Children Affairs, Minister of Education and Sports, Vice-President etc. It’s only Mzee who knows how and why,” Alupo reportedly said.
She concluded by urging the legislators to concentrate on issues that would benefit the people of Teso, adding: “Silence is Golden. Enjoy your week.”
The leaked communication comes at a politically sensitive moment following a series of statements by Gen. Muhoozi suggesting that he is preparing to leave the military and could take up the country’s second-highest political office.
On November 5, Muhoozi announced on X that his time as CDF was coming to an end, saying he had accomplished the tasks God had given him and would hand over the military office to a qualified officer in a few months before dedicating his life to Christ.
However, on November 9, he made an even more direct statement about the Vice-President’s office, saying whoever occupied it should prepare to hand it over soon.
“About being Vice-President. I think we have been diplomatic enough. Whoever is in that office should prepare to hand it over soon,” Muhoozi posted.
He further suggested that, if appointed Vice-President, he would introduce military-style management in government, declaring that there would be no more inefficiency.
The remarks have fuelled speculation about Alupo’s political future, particularly given that she currently occupies the office Muhoozi has publicly expressed interest in taking over.
Alupo, a retired army major, has served as Vice-President since June 2021 and was reappointed for a second term in May 2026 following parliamentary approval.
It remains unclear whether the proposed meeting between Museveni and the Teso legislators is connected to the latest political developments or is part of the region’s routine engagement with the President.
Neither the President nor the government has officially announced any impending change in the Vice-President’s office. Muhoozi’s statements, therefore, remain public political declarations rather than confirmation of an appointment or an agreed leadership transition.
