Nakigudde Maria Speria, a final year student of Law at Uganda Christian University ( UCU ) main campus Mukono has been elected the 5th National Youth Parliamentary Speaker today Friday 5th August 2022 at the National Youth Parliament.

It was such a joyful moment for Speria as she was declared the new Speaker of the National Youth Parliament, defeating the other four people in the race, as it is something she had always worked hard to achieve.
