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.

In recent years, Solomon Iguru has promoted the Kingdom by founding the Association of the Representatives of Bunyoro-Kitara.

Solomon was formally recognised in the Uganda Gazette legal notice No. 303 of 2014.[1][2][3]
