The Omukama (King) of Toro is so far the youngest king in Uganda and the whole world. He succeeded his father’s throne when he was only four years old following the premature death of his father. At 23 years of age now, he is the world’s youngest ruling monarch. Toro is one of the four traditional kingdoms located within the borders of Uganda. It was founded in 1830 when the Omukama Kaboyo Olimi I, the eldest son of Omukama Nyamutukura Kyebambe III, rebelled and established his own independent kingdom. Incorporated back into Bunyoro-Kitara in 1876, it reasserted its independence in 1891.
