The National Resistance Movement (NRM) woman parliamentary by election loss in Luweero was widely interpreted by political observers and analysts as a significant blow to the ruling party in Uganda.

It is not only because it is the first time the NRM party lost a major constituency in by elections in its 26 year rule but because the lose of Luweero seat to an opposition symbolized a major loss of trust in the party by Ugandans in Luweero, who supported the ruling government during its five year liberation armed struggle.

Since the end of the recently concluded 2011 general elections, NRM has lost over 10 parliamentary election court petitions.
Political observers some of them within the ruling NRM party anticipate that Ugandans are about to see NRM lose more by-elections in places like Bukoto central in Masaka, Butambala, Iganga among others.

Hajji Naduli, the chairperson of NRM in Buganda says that the ruling party is losing by elections to opposition due to intrigue and disunity among NRM cadres in the country.
