Speaker of Parliament Anita Among and her deputy, Thomas Tayebwa have picked nomination forms from the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Electoral Commission, signaling their intention to seek re-election under the ruling party in the upcoming 2026 general elections.
Speaking after receiving her forms at the NRM headquarters in Kyadondo, Speaker Among praised the party for upholding democratic values and running a transparent nomination process.
Anita Among is contesting for the Bukedea Woman Member of Parliament under the NRM ticket.
“NRM has been and will always be a democratic party,” she said, adding that the consistency and openness of the process reflect the party’s long-standing commitment to fairness.
Asked whether she would consider running as an independent should she lose in the primaries, Among firmly dismissed the idea.
“I am a tested leader. I cannot fail to go through the party primaries,” she said confidently, reinforcing her belief in her popularity and performance within the party structures.
Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa also picked his nomination forms to contest for Ruhinda North Constituency, a seat he currently holds. In a statement issued shortly after, Tayebwa emphasized servant leadership rooted in grassroots connection.
