President Yoweri Museveni administered the oath, to the speaker Among and handed her instruments of power including the Mess, Coat of Arms, and the national flag to succeed Oulanyah. Basalirwa conceded defeat and appreciated MPs for their support.

In her victory speech, Among took time to pay tribute to her predecessor and appreciated the president for doing everything possible to save Oulanyah’s life which wasn’t possible. Among hailed Oulanyah for mentoring her in speakership and promised to carry on his legacy.

Among promised factual debates with a focus on common Ugandans to drive the social-economical transformation of the country. She promised to be a speaker for everyone and urged MPs to observe decorum and mutual respect for each other.
