The ruling national resistance movement party, NRM will on Thursday this week recommend its choice of speaker candidate to the parliamentary commission.
The decision comes after a central executive committee; CEC meeting chaired by NRM chairman Yoweri Museveni which took place last night at State house Entebbe to find suitable candidates for both speaker and deputy speaker positions decided to keep its decision a secret.
This morning, a statement was released showing no results, but rather that their decision will be communicated on Thursday May 5th 2016.
CEC, the highest party organ does not allow the press during its meetings, and the country will have to wait until Thursday to know the result.
“The central executive committee of the ruling NRM has met under the chairmanship of H.E Yoweri Museveni and agreed on the way forward on the issue speaker and Deputy speaker of Parliament. The recommendations will be presented to parliamentary caucus on Thursday.”
However, speculation is that the party favors incumbent Rebecca Kadaga for speaker and Hon. Hamsom Obua for deputy speaker.
