The former Leader of Opposition and Kasese Woman Member of Parliament, Winfred Kiiza has announced plans to quit elective politics when her current term of office expires.
She announced the decision on Tuesday, ending weeks of speculation by her voters. Kiiza has served in parliament for three consecutive five year terms. According to Kiiza, she has served to her expectations and will back another young woman to come in and also serve.
However, the MP said she will continue spearheading the campaign against dictatorship and champion women empowerment.
The Kasese District FDC party chairperson, Saulo Maate, says it is Kiiza’s choice to bow out, adding that as a party, they can’t stop their members from leaving politics.
He revealed that the Kasese Municipality MP, Robert Centenary had not returned the party nomination forms by Tuesday afternoon.
