KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — A teenaged young woman fresh out of high school has won a seat in Uganda's parliament, adding to the ruling party's majority but embarrassing some who say her success lowers expectations of lawmakers in the East African country.

Proscovia Oromait, who is 19 and a college hopeful, contested elections deep in eastern Uganda to fill the seat left vacant by her father's death. President Yoweri Museveni's ruling party had been desperate for a win there, having lost seven in eight parliamentary by-elections this year. The polls have come to be widely seen as a test of Museveni's popularity, and some party bosses calculated that she would win with a sympathy vote. The result was Uganda's youngest lawmaker ever — and a boost for Museveni's party.

Let's be realistic,she is only 19,a college hopeful,where is the fresh ideas coming from,she doesnt even have any work experience,seriously she is only going to be a joke in the parliament,do you really think she is going to have any say in the parliament.

hahaha. . .parliamentary joke
what does she have to offer?

some boyfriend and dating discussions?
or what?!
This is a shame to the people of uganda.

It looks like we are judging her based on the color of her skin, this is pretty wrong.
I am really sad. Queen Victoria was 18 when she took over English empire. And we know very well that she was successful. This Ugandan sensation stood for election and won. To me that is not "come chop". And when it comes to fresh ideas, real ideas, I think she would do far better than old woods. She is part of Gen-Y, and social media-driven society. She would be helped by the new media, and that would help her to make informed decision. I sincerely wish her well, and I look forward to her greatness.

Hmmmm!
A 19 year-old 'congo'. . .amidst hungry wolves. . .aka African Men?
I wish her all the best.
Let us see what becomes of her in the next year or so.
If she does not quench of. . .?
In any part of the civilized world. . .where humans keep evolving as opposed to 'revolving'. . .I would have held my breath.
Uganda kwa nu?
This is an all-time low for Africans.

SE-XU-AL ABUSE OF MINORS CONTINUES!!!
Who nominates a post-teen who has not learned how to wash her arzze properly to tango with wild beasts?

My dear, we need to advance. What have d Uche Chukwumerijes, IBBs, Tukurs, Okadigbos, Okilos, Marks, Sarakis, Nnamanis, etc done for us with 'wealth of experience'? How old was JFK wen he became d most powerful man on earth? 37! How old was Diete-Spiff wen he ruled Rivers State? 27!
At least d teenager isn't going to be d house Speaker or leader. In 4 yrs time she wud hv gathered on-hands experience. We need young blood. The ancients in power have failed us repeatedly.
