Lumu’s proposal was met with many diverging views, as most opposition MPs maintained that the proposed bill was meant to weaken the opposition. 

As Lumu continues to gather input from various stakeholders, the outcome of these consultations could significantly impact the future of the LOP's election process in Uganda's Parliament.

The President of the National Unity Platform (NUP), Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu, has made a call to foreign investors to review their funding to Uganda.

The Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) spokesperson, Arach Sharon Oyat, has asked all key stakeholders in the coming 2026 elections to maintain peace and remain calm.

Kiirya added that the bill was introduced by a private member and it's his personal bill as an individual and he has a right to move the bill as an MP and not on behalf of the Democratic Party

The controversial bill has since attracted comments from different political analysts in the media, where some have maintained that the bill is set to promote democracy while others have stressed that it’s a blank cheque to the NRM party to antagonize the opposition. 

The Parliament of Uganda is set to hold four regional sittings, with the first one starting on August 28, 2024, at Kaunda grounds in Gulu, and they are to hold other sittings in Mbarara, Mbale, and Masaka. Each sitting is to cost over UGX 5 billion, and many people have criticized the relevance of these regional sittings as they seem not to have a direct impact on the constituents.
