The Deputy Speaker of the 9th Parliament (2011-2016), Hon. Jacob Oulanyah, has retained his position for the incoming 10th Parliament (2016-2021).
Honourable Oulanya was this afternoon declared Deputy Speaker after he polled 300 votes to beat his only challenger, fellow NRM MP Muhammad Nsereko who polled 115 votes. One vote was invalid.
The positions of Speaker and Deputy Speaker for the incoming parliament are now settled, as Hon. Rebecca Kadaga was earlier in the morning sworn in as Speaker following her unopposed run for the seat. President Museveni was there to witness her swearing in.
