Ms Consolata Nabwire Wakwabubi has been sworn in as Senator, taking over from Ms Gloria Orwoba who was expelled from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) which had nominated her.

Ms Orwoba lost her seat in the House after UDA accused her of disloyalty and expelled her.

Her expulsion led to the nomination of Ms Wakwabubi, who was the next on the party nomination list.

On Wednesday, Speaker Amason Kingi presided over the swearing in ceremony, even as he congratulated the new Senator for her election and welcomed her to the Senate.
