Kadaga Set For Speakership Race
Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga, the former Speaker of Parliament, will declare her interest in resuming her coveted seat tomorrow, Tuesday.
We’ve learned that a group of MPs gathered at Kadaga’s home in Muyenga on Monday evening to decide on the position left vacant by Jacob Oulanyah’s death.
The meeting agreed that Kadaga, who has served two terms in Parliament, should go to the National Resistance Movement party’s electoral commission headquarters on Tuesday to declare her candidacy.
“Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga is best suited and has the necessary experience to chair Parliament and provide leadership at this time,” said a meeting attendee.
Anita Among, the Deputy Speaker, is also said to be in the running for the same position and is expected to arrive at the NRM electoral commission headquarters on Tuesday at 11:00 a.m.
Among, who has been the Deputy Speaker for 9 months, decided on Monday evening with her team to take a shot at the Speakership.
