Kyankwanzi chronicles: What next for Among?
Ugandan Speaker Anita Among's influence within the ruling NRM party is waning despite likely retaining her speakership, as President Museveni appears to be backing a rival candidate, Nobert Mao. Among's powers were challenged when Museveni invited Mao to the NRM retreat and praised his 'individual qualities'.
Ugandan Speaker Anita Among is likely to retain her speakership, but her influence within the ruling NRM party is diminishing. President Museveni's recent actions have challenged Among's powers, including inviting Nobert Mao, a rival candidate, to the NRM retreat. Museveni praised Mao's 'individual qualities', further eroding Among's influence. Among had previously clashed with Museveni over her attempts to block opposition candidates. The NRM party's retreat marked a significant shift in the balance of power within the party. Among's future as a major power broker appears uncertain beyond this term.
