By July 2026 She Will Be Out” — Blogger Predicts End of Anita Among’s Speakership

Debate over the next Speaker of Uganda’s Parliament is intensifying as political realignments and competing endorsements shape what is becoming one of the most closely watched leadership contests ahead of the 12th Parliament.

Incumbent Speaker Anita Annet Among is seeking to retain her position, but opposition voices and internal party dynamics are adding uncertainty to her bid.

Among, who took over the speakership in 2022 following the death of Jacob Oulanyah, enters the race with the advantage of incumbency and established ties within the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).

She also continues to serve as Woman Member of Parliament for Bukedea District and holds a senior party position as Second National Vice Chairperson (Female) of the NRM.
