Former Makerere University guild president Adeke Anna Ebaju was last week declared winner by the Electoral Commission in the tightly contested race for the Soroti District Woman Member of Parliament 2021 -2026.
The Ugandan lawyer and politician also doubles as the current Member of Parliament of the National Female Youth in the 10th parliament (2016 – 2021).
Shortly after winning the race, the Forum For Democratic Change (FDC) legislator credited God’s involvement in her victory after describing the election as her hardest ever.
“I won the hardest election I have experienced. Grateful to the God of @psbushiri. I will testify soon.” She tweeted.
Adeke holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from Makerere University in addition to a diploma in legal practice from the Law Development Center (LDC).
Back in 2013 at Makerere University, Adeke polled 6609 (61%) votes and thereby defeating seven others in a hotly contested guild race.
She had massive support amongst female students who were desperate to produce a guild president, having taken the last 8 years without any. The last they had was Susan Abbo in 2007.
