At least 22 high ranking government officials including Vice President Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi, Government Chief Whip Ruth Nankabirwa and several other ministers were Thursday voted out of Parliament.

In a heated election that pitted National Unity Platform’s Robert Kyagulanyi and National Resistance Movement’s Yoweri Museveni as the top contenders in the presidential race, the competition was even stiffer in the Parliamentary polls.

NRM’s Museveni won the presidential polls with 5,851,037 which is 58.64% of the total votes cast while Kyagulanyi came in second with 3,475,298 votes which is 34.83%.

In the Parliamentary polls however, several NRM big wigs lost polls and will not be returning to parliament at the end of this term.

Below is the list of booted ministers.
