Parliament Speakership Race: NRM stuck between longtime faithful Kadaga and Johnny-come-lately OulanyahWith a few hours left for the NRM’s CEC and then the NRM 11th Parliament Caucus to select the party’s flagbearers for the Parliamentary Speaker and Deputy Speaker race, former Deputy Speaker, Jacob Oulanyah’s camp is being accused of waging an underground dirty campaign against the favourite-to-win, Kadaga. Oulanyah’s bid, according to sources, also seems to have hit a wall, amongst some NRM stalwarts because he is seen as a johnny-come-lately to the party. There is a strong feeling that choosing Oulanyah who only crossed from UPC to the NRM in 2011, over Kadaga who has been a party faithful since the late 80s will send a wrong message to party members that it doesn’t pay to be devoted and dependable to the party.
The Parliament Speakership race is largely between NRM’s longtime faithful Rt. Hon Rebecca Kadaga the Speaker in the 9th and 10th Parliaments and her former Deputy, Rt. Hon Jacob Oulanyah.
