Thomas Tayebwa, member of Parliament for Ruhinda North County, has been appointed Deputy Speaker of the 11th Parliament.

KAMPALA | NOW THEN DIGITAL  — The Member of Parliament for Ruhinda North County, Thomas Tayebwa, has been named Deputy Speaker of the 11th Parliament.

In a voting exercise held at the Kololo Independence grounds and presided over by Chief Justice Alphonse Owiny-Dollo, Tayebwa scooped 379 votes while Opposition’s Moses Okot p’Bitek managed only 82 votes.

His victory came only a day after the Central Executive Committee (CEC) endorsed him as the party flagbearer for the position of Deputy Speaker.

In a party’s parliamentary caucus meeting held at the Kololo independence grounds on Thursday, Tayebwa went through unopposed after all his contenders pulled out of the race.

“Thank you colleagues for endorsing me unopposed for Deputy Speaker on NRM ticket,” he tweeted applauding the NRM and President Museveni for allowing him a chance to serve the country in another field different from what he was known for.

Who is Thomas Tayebwa?

Thomas Tayebwa was born on 10th November 1980 and is currently serving as the Member of Parliament for Ruhinda County North.
