The National Unity Platform (NUP) has so far secured at least 50 parliamentary seats in the newly constituted Twelfth Parliament despite a decline from its previous strength in the House.
In the last Parliament, the NUP held 57 seats, meaning the latest outcome reflects a net loss of seven legislators. The results show the challenges faced by the party in retaining its earlier dominance in key constituencies.
Several high-profile NUP lawmakers failed to return to Parliament. However, the party’s leadership point to expanded participation as a key milestone in the just-concluded elections. NUP fielded more than 300 candidates nationwide, an increase that shows growing organisational reach and internal restructuring despite the reduced number of seats won.
The party’s elected legislators are drawn from a wide geographical spread, including Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area, Busoga, Buganda and parts of Eastern Uganda, with strong representation in urban constituencies and district woman representative slots.

Despite losing ground numerically, NUP’s expanded national footprint and continued dominance in urban constituencies highlight the party’s evolving role.
In the 11th parliament, there was a total of 106 opposition members of parliament, however this number has reduced to 78 MPs. Meaning 28 MPs from the opposition parties were defeated.
