Battle Of Supremacy? Speaker Anita Among To Stand Against Kadaga For The NRM Vice President Seat

Ugandan politics has just gotten more interesting. Speaker of Parliament Anita Among has announced her intention to challenge Rebecca Kadaga for the National Resistance Movement’s (NRM) National Women’s Chairperson seat.

Among, who played a key role in ousting Kadaga from the Legislature’s top seat in 2021, is now gunning for Kadaga’s NRM position.

“I’m also going to stand as NRM National Women’s Chairperson,” Among declared during a meeting with urban council speakers.

“I’m not standing for the position for the eastern region, I’m going to stand for National Vice Chairperson Female. I’m for the whole country, not only the eastern region.”

This move is seen as a bold challenge to Kadaga’s dominance in the NRM. Kadaga has held the position for years, but Among is determined to take the reins.

The upcoming NRM primaries are expected to be fiercely contested, with both leaders vying for the influential Women’s Chairperson seat. The winner will have significant influence over the NRM’s direction.

Among’s growing influence has been felt in national politics and in Busoga, Kadaga’s stronghold. She has made significant investments in Kadaga’s backyard of Kamuli.

As the battle for power heats up, it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious. One thing is certain: the outcome will have significant implications for the future of the NRM and Ugandan politics.

Among’s decision to run is seen as a strategic move to consolidate her power and influence within the NRM. Kadaga, on the other hand, is facing a significant challenge to her dominance within the NRM.

As the campaign intensifies, both leaders are expected to pull out all the stops to win. The outcome will be a testament to their political prowess and influence.
