Loss of political positions

In November 2015 during the NRM primaries, incumbent Oundo received 28,750 votes while her closest challenger, Nina Irene Nekesa Wandera, received 25,443 votes. Wandera then petitioned the party’s electoral commission with alleged evidence of electoral malpractice by Oundo.
