The central Executive Committee of the ruling party has endorsed the Omoro County legislator Jacob Oulanyah as its choice for the post of Speaker of Parliament.
CEC endorsed Oulanyah against outgoing Speaker Rebecca Kadaga who was seeking a 3rd term as Speaker.
The decision by CEC is likely to be adopted by National Executive Committee and party caucus. National Resistance Movement party enjoys majority support in parliament and its decision is likely to go through unhindered.
