Bukedea District Woman MP Anita Annet Among has announced her withdrawal from the race for Speaker of Parliament.
Her decision follows ongoing investigations into allegations of corruption. Security agencies, including the police and the army, are currently searching her residences in Kololo and Kigo in an operation that began on Saturday afternoon.
In a statement, Among said her decision was guided by consultations and the need to maintain unity within the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).
“I wish to draw the attention of the public to matters regarding the Speakership race. After wide consultations and deep introspection, and to maintain harmony and clarity in my beloved party, the National Resistance Movement (NRM), I wish to categorically and unequivocally state that I will not be offering myself for the Speakership of the 12th Parliament,” she said.
Among expressed gratitude to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the NRM, and members of the 11th Parliament for entrusting her with the roles of Deputy Speaker and later Speaker.
“I am greatly indebted to President Museveni, my party, the NRM, and members of the 11th Parliament for giving me the opportunity to serve as Deputy Speaker and Speaker. I am equally grateful to my family and friends for the solidarity and support they have extended to me over the last five years,” she said in a post on X.
She pledged full support to candidates who will be endorsed by the President and the party and urged fellow MPs to do the same.
“I shall remain available to serve my country as the party and the President may assign me. In the meantime, I pledge to continue cooperating with all ongoing investigations as initiated by the relevant organs of the state to get to the root of all the allegations raised,” she added.
