The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has reshuffled its parliamentary leadership, appointing Anna Adeke Ebaju as the new Party Whip following the defection of her predecessor, Yusuf Nsibambi, to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).
The change was formally communicated on the floor of Parliament by the Speaker, Anita Annet Among, during Wednesday’s plenary sitting. She cited a letter from the FDC Secretary General dated March 16, 2026.
“I am in receipt of a letter… appointing Hon. Anna Adeke Ebaju as Party Whip replacing Hon. Yusuf Nsibambi,” Among announced, before congratulating Adeke on her appointment and Nsibambi on his move to the ruling party.
The role of Party Whip is key in enforcing party discipline, coordinating legislative strategy, and ensuring attendance and cohesion during voting in Parliament.
Adeke’s appointment comes at a critical time as Parliament handles key stages of the 2026/27 national budget, where party unity is essential in shaping debate and influencing decisions.
The Soroti District Woman Representative is a long-standing member of the FDC and is known for her contributions on governance, youth empowerment, and accountability issues.
Her appointment is expected to strengthen the party’s coordination in Parliament during a crucial legislative period.
