THE Electoral Commission (EC) has officially released results of 302 members of the eighth parliament.

The NRM has 187 members, 37 are independent, FDC has 35, UPC 13, DP nine, while CP and Jeema have one each. The 10-page Uganda Gazette of March 27, 2006, has MPs from the 69 districts, 10 UPDF representatives, five for workers and five for people with disabilities.

The gazette issued on March 23 by EC chairman Dr. Badru Kiggundu however excludes MPs representing the youth, Kyaddondo East and the Adjumani woman.

Sam Njuba, who won the Kyaddondo East seat, is still battling with incumbent William Ssitenda Ssebalu who filed a court injunction.

Elections for the Adjumani woman representative and youth MPs are yet to be held.
