Template:Politics of Uganda The National Resistance Movement is a political organization in Uganda. Allthough parties are allowed, Uganda holds elections on a non-party basis. The strengt of the parties is therefore not available, but the NRM dominates parliament. The presidential elections of 12 march 2001 were won by Yoweri Kaguta Museveni of the NRM with 69.3 % of the popular vote. The NRM is the only effective political movement in the country. It began as the political and public relations adjunct to the rebel National Resistance Army before Museveni came to power in 1986.
