“It’s only the President with the powers under the Constitution,” said Kadaga.

In a letter dated May 4, Rugunda asked Kadaga to convene an urgent Parliamentary Commission meeting to postpone the election to a date beyond May 21.

According to Rugunda, parties that will be represented in the 11th parliament might need to meet their members in caucus to decide on who to endorse for parliament’s top positions.

Voting for Speaker and Deputy Speaker are the first activities done by Parliament after swearing in and for this year, swearing in is slated for May 17 and May 18.
