Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah has been elected Speaker of the 11th Parliament after garnering the required 290 votes from fellow MP.
He faced off with his main rival Hon Rebecca Kadaga on Monday who contested as an independent candidate after CEC dropped her and endorsed Oulanyah’s candidacy on Sunday.
Kadaga has presided over Parliament for 20 years both as speaker and deputy speaker.
Oulanyah served under Kadaga for a decade as her deputy.
