Summary
Background. The NRM party performed poorly in Luweero during the recent general election compared to previous elections after the majority of the positions in the district were scooped by members of the Opposition. Of the 40 district councillors, the NRM only has six.
Even in the presidential election, National Unity Platform former presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi defeated the incumbent President Museveni in the district, scoring 103,782 votes (70.45 per cent) against Museveni’s 41,166 votes.

The two meanly guarded roadblocks be-tween the central Buwambo and Gongonya townships were depictive of the tense general election mood in Bombo town council last Thursday.
At Masjid Noor A with 505 voters and Masjid Noor B (with 526 voters) polling stations near the military barracks, the slow start in the morning continued well into the afternoon. At every moment in time, there were more polling agents and officials than voters.
The voters and candidate agents were very rattled on seeing the media and the residents were extremely unconformable talking to journalists much as there was no visible soldier in sight. Unlike most towns, in Bombo town council, there was no single campaign poster of the National Unity Platform presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi.
