Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has become the subject of ridicule on social media platforms due to his unusual fashion sense.

On September 13, 2019, a photo of him wearing an oversized combat coat sparked widespread amusement and criticism.

While some users defended Museveni's choice of attire, others questioned who was responsible for dressing the Ugandan President.

Reactions to the photo ranged from humorous to sarcastic, with some users likening Museveni's style to that of Boko Haram leader or an African Boro Yeng.

Others poked fun at Museveni's apparent lack of concern for fashion, with one user suggesting that he prioritized covering his body over looking stylish.
