“Sometimes people pursue personal interest and begin rationalizing even the most stupid things they have done. You can’t tell me that I Ssemujju, need a meeting to convince Opposition MPs to vote me into Speakership,” he added.
This comes after Hon Ssemujju received only 15 votes during the speakership race. Ssemujju says most opposition people voted for Kadaga because they knew that her win would hurt Museveni.
“Many Opposition MPs were telling me that they will vote Kadaga because her win will hurt the dictator more,” he said.
However, the National Unity Platform President has not yet made a comment about the recently concluded speakership elections.

Unyielding supporters of outgoing Speaker Rebecca Kadaga say her name will appear on the ballot tomorrow as the 11th Parliament convenes for the first time since the January 14 elections to vote Speaker and Deputy Speaker.
Even though the NRM Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting deferred declaring who they preferred last night, the Kadaga camp appeared resolute and had no kind words for those asking her to step down for Mr Jacob Oulanyah, her rival for the post.
