A traditional Ugandan kingdom has chosen a new monarch to succeed King Oyo Nyimba, who passed away last month at 34. The kingdom of Tooro in western Uganda, known for its significant cultural influence, is navigating a succession dispute following the king's death.

• Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma, a news anchor, was announced as the chosen successor by the royal clan's succession committee.
• King Oyo Nyimba became the world's youngest reigning monarch at just 3 years old in 1995.
• The selection is contested by King Oyo's sister, Princess Ruth Komuntale, and their mother, who claim the king left a will naming his son as heir.
