Speaker Anitah Among Leaves Ugandans Stunned as She Reveals Exactly What She Wants to Do in Politics

Ugandans were taken by surprise after Speaker of Parliament Anitah Among made a passionate declaration of her next political move fully dedicating herself to campaigning for her husband, Hon. Eng. Moses Magogo, in Budiope East Constituency.

Speaking at a gathering of NRM leaders and Special Interest Groups from six sub-counties at her luxurious residence in Naliina Village, Kagulu Sub County, Among revealed she would be shifting her political focus temporarily from Bukedea to Budiope.

“Now that I was unopposed in Bukedea, I am going to pitch camp here until my sweetheart, Hon. Eng. Moses Magogo, is declared winner,” Among announced to a cheering crowd.

Her statement sparked widespread reactions online and within political circles.

While some praised her for being a devoted partner and a strong political mobilizer, others criticized her for prioritizing personal interests over national parliamentary responsibilities.

The Speaker’s active involvement in Magogo’s campaign signals a high-stakes bid to secure his parliamentary seat as the 2026 general election season heats up.

Political analysts note that her influence could significantly boost Magogo’s chances, given her national stature and deep ties within the ruling NRM party.

Among’s decision to take a frontline role in local campaigns marks a unique moment in Uganda’s political landscape, blending personal loyalty with strategic political mobilization.

Whether her presence in Budiope will pay off remains to be seen as campaigns intensify
