The Tooro Kingdom's Babiito committee named Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma as successor. [1] Monitor filed the Wednesday Fort Portal reading. [1] AP filed a journalist selected. [2] A clan selection is not a gazetted king. Print selected. Do not print crowned.

A later family dispute and a later funeral declaration belong to the editions that own them. Wednesday prints the committee's sentence. Leave a named gazette to the edition that owns a named gazette.

Print selected. Print not gazetted. Wednesday is not an enthronement.

Selected remains a clan sentence, not a gazette on this Wednesday politics desk.
A later family dispute belongs to a later edition.
Wednesday is not an enthronement.
AP already named a journalist selected, not crowned, on Wednesday.
Clan selections precede gazettes by custom; the committee speaks before the state writes. AP's selected-not-crowned framing keeps the distinction. Wednesday reports the sentence, not the throne.

Sentences precede thrones by custom and by law; Wednesday has the sentence. The throne waits for the gazette.

Gazettes wait; Wednesday has selected, not crowned. The committee spoke. The state has not written.

AP's selected-not-crowned framing keeps the distinction. Wednesday reports the sentence, not the throne. The gazette has not written.

In Fort Portal the Babiito committee read Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma's name. Monitor filed a clan choice; AP called him a journalist selected. No gazette has written a king. Enthronement waits on paper not in hand.
The gazette has not written. A clan choice is not a crown. Paper not in hand is not a king.

The gazette has not written. A clan choice is not a crown. Enthronement waits on paper not in hand.
