In the nullified exercise, Ms Watongola, according to the Electoral Commission, polled 8,174 votes while Ms Musumba got 6,702. Ms Naikoba's 493 votes and the hope of a larger turnout in favour of her will be crucial for Ms Musumba. The race will no doubt be between Ms Musumba and Ms Watongola with the latter being the person to beat. The unity perceived or formalised by all Opposition parties helped the Opposition win Luweero Woman MP race twice, Entebbe Municipality, Butambala, Bukoto South, Amuru, Jinja Municipality East Amuru and Mukono Municipality. Moroto District Woman MP seat fell vacant following the death of former MP Annie Logiel.
