At least five members of the current Parliament have succeeded their relatives, and in previous Parliaments, multiple members did as well. When the speaker and member of Parliament for Omoro County, Jacob Oulanyah, died in 2022, his son, Andrew Ojok Oulanyah, replaced him. And when Rehema Watongola, the Kamuli Municipality member of Parliament, died in 2020, her daughter, Kayanga Baroda, won the seat on an independent ticket. Sometimes, community members push for family succession, says Stephen Ochola, brother of Okabe, the Parliament member who died in 2022. The community pressed for someone from the family to take his place, says Ochola, who is now a member of parliament.
