2001 Ugandan parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Uganda on 26 June 2001. At the time, the constitution banned all political parties (a referendum on changing to a multi-party system having failed the previous year), so all members were elected as independents. 214 of the 295 in Parliament were up for election,[1] with the others reserved for the Army (10 seats), youth and women.
