Museveni wants Kasule Lumumba to be Uganda’s next Vice President

President Yoweri Museveni has nominated Justine Kasule Lumumba as Vice President, according to Trumpet News- a local news website.

Lumumba is currently serving as ruling party- NRM Secretary General.

Museveni has since sent Lumumba’s name to the Parliament’s Appointments Committee chaired by Speaker Jacob Oulanyah for vetting and approval.

“Oulanyah has the name already and is expected to finish the vetting process today and the Speaker will report back to the President whether Lumumba qualifies or not,” a source told the local news website.

A source also said that Museveni has also selected a name of the Prime Minister which he sent to Parliament along with Lumumba’s.

Ruhakana Rugunda who has been serving as Prime Minister since 2015 will not bounce back in the next cabinet and sources have it that he is likely to replace Lumumba as NRM SG.

Former Prime Minister also President Museveni’s long time ally John Patrick Amama Mbabazi is designated to replace Rukutana.

On Monday, Museveni urged the party caucus in Parliament to unanimously back him in his choice of candidate for the positions of Vice President and Prime Minister.

Museveni told the caucus sitting at Kololo that he would soon present the two names and urged the MPs to approve them once tabled. He added that the list of 80 ministers both cabinet and state shall also be released very soon.

On the Speakership race, the NRM national chairman congratulated Members of Parliament for showing solidarity while voting for Jacob Oulanyah and Anitah Among as Speaker and Deputy Speaker respectively two weeks ago.

According to Museveni, party politics is all about compromise, adding that moving alone distorts the NRM ideology.

He assured MPs that nobody shall be vindicated or harassed for having supported a different candidate.

Earlier, the NRM Secretary General Lumumba asked MPs to fill expression of interest forms for positions on different committees of Parliament.
