Latif Ssebaggala

The decision comes from a cross section of members expressing their worries that a number of them were not familiar with each other both in capacity and in name.

The Buganda caucus is currently chaired by Minister of state for Luwero Rose Namayanja, deputized by Kawempe North MP Latif Ssebaggala. Other committee members did not make it to the 9^th Parliament.

The elections had been widely expected to take place today with the race for the chair being between Kampala central MP and NRM youth winger Hajj Nsereko Mohammed taking on the former Vice Chair person Latif Ssebaggala.

The elections have been postponed to a period of two weeks to give room for members to acquaint themselves with each other.

Sebagala officially announced his intentions to stand as the chairperson of the Buganda parliamentary caucus. Sebagala says that he has been serving as the vice chairperson in the last parliament and therefore he can now serve as the chairperson better.

He says that if trusted with the position, he will start from where the last committee stopped.  Sebagala says that he will make sure that he serves the caucus without fear or favor and he will be the voice of all the members. He calls upon all the MPs from Buganda to show their solidarity as they are handling Buganda issues.
