Until a referendum in 2005, Uganda held elections on a non-party basis. The relative strengths of the parties is difficult to gauge as no elections have been held since the party-politics was reinstated. The NRM dominates parliament, however, and is expected to continue to do so. The presidential elections of 12 March 2001 were won by Yoweri Museveni of the NRM with 69.3% of the popular vote. It began as the political body associated with the rebel National Resistance Army before Museveni came to power in 1986.
