FDC Whip: Speaker Among finally accepts Nsibambi as Ssemujju’s replacement
By Davis Mugabi
The Speaker of Parliament, Annet Anita Among, has finally accepted Yusuf Nsibambi as the new Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) whip in Parliament.
Recently, Ssemujju was dropped from the position after a disagreement with the FDC leadership.
However, the process leading to his sacking was contested.
Last Friday, the FDC National Delegates Conference sat in Lugogo and appointed Nsibambi as the new FDC Whip.
While chairing the session this afternoon, Among said that she has received a formal communication from the FDC confiding Nsibambi as the new FDC Whip in Parliament.
“The Secretary General has sent me a letter on October 7, 2023, confirming the decision of the FDC delegates to appoint Yusuf Nsibambi as FDC Party Whip in Parliament. In the circumstances, therefore, I do accept the designation of Nsibambi as FDC Party Whip,” she said.
