Kadaga congratulates Jacob Oulanyah on becoming 11th Parliament Speaker

Two-term speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has congratulated her successor Jacob L’Okori Oulanyah who beat her in the May 24 election.

MR SPEAKER: Jacob Oulanyah beats Kadaga to become Uganda’s 11th Parliament Speaker

Kadaga had defied her ruling NRM party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) decision to back Oulanyah.

Kadaga: I’ll challenge NRM CEC speaker candidate Jacob Oulanyah as an independent

Some politicians and commentators had urged her to accept NRM CEC ruling but she chose defiance.

Andrew Mwenda warns Kadaga: Don’t commit political suicide by standing as an independent, just accept VP job

But immediately Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo declared Oulanyah winner, Kadaga, flanked by Dokolo Woman MP Cecilia Ogwal, congratulated her successor and wished him well.
