Her contenders Brian Kusingira Tindyebwa and Dr Lwanga Isaac got 671 and 4 votes respectively.
NRM Primaries have seen many incumbents lose to the “new comers” and not performing as expected.

The elections have been characterized with violence which has led to the suspension of elections in Mawogola West and North, Namuganza’s Bukonk county where her agent was allegedly killed among other areas.
