On December 19, 2017, General Katumba Wamala in a tweet making rounds on social media dared those who wanted to attack him as he responded to a threat by ex-MP Odonga Otto who had said that for punching Mityana Municipality MP Francis Zaake during the 'Togikwatako' fracas, they would go for Katumba and his family when the regime changes.
The Uganda Peoples Defence Forces-UPDF Spokesperson Brigadier Flavia Byekwaso has also shown interest in the position of Vice President. Byekwaso will contest with Annet Kisomose, the current Secretary of the Federation.
