If Parliament passes the proposed Parliamentary Elections (Amendment) Bill, 2020 which provides for the creation of 5 seats for the elderly Persons, in addition to 46 new Counties & the 3 additional Cities approved last week, the 11th Parliament will have approximately 536 MPs.
Parliament last week approved 46 new Counties. Uganda now has 353 constituencies. This implies that the 11th Parliament will have more than 530 MPs.
Increasing the number of MPs will make the 11th Parliament more effective and increase political representation.....?
