Omukama Rukirabasaija Agutamba Solomon Gafabusa Iguru I (born 1948) is the 27th Omukama of Bunyoro[1] from 1994 to present. The King's traditional alternative name used by family (known as empaako) is Amooti.[citation needed]
Solomon Iguru I rose to the throne in 1994. His father, Sir Winyi IV of Bunyoro, reigned from 1927 to 1967. In 1967, the Ugandan government under Milton Obote abolished kingdoms.[citation needed]
In recent years, Solomon Iguru has promoted the Kingdom by founding the Association of the Representatives of Bunyoro-Kitara.[citation needed]
Solomon was formally recognised in the Uganda Gazette legal notice No. 303 of 2014.[2][3][4] On 17 October 2024, he was airlifted from his palace using an army helicopter sent by President Museveni after suffering a strange flu. The Kingdom premier asked the King's subjects to remain calm in that difficult situation. (https://chimpreports.com/bunyoro-king-airlifted-to-kampala-for-treatment/)
