Party Colors

I just updated the candidates table in the Presidential Section. However, I am unaware of the political colors of each party. If anyone has that knowledge it would be helpful if you update the table with party colors. Sputink (talk) 17:48, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

National Assembly Results

I believe this article still needs National Assembly Results, if any one is feeling generous enough to add that to the results section. Sputink (talk) 12:18, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have been searching for some time, but I couldn't find any. I see that the Electoral Commission has finally published a list of elected MPs (must have been quite recently), but no other data appears to be available (the IPU page has nothing). Will keep looking. Number 5 7 12:26, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Would you believe a graphic similar to this Bunge Chart would be necessary for the Parliament results. Sputink (talk) 13:38, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make one, go for it. Number 5 7 13:47, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Innaugration

Does the information for the inauguration go on a separate page or does it get appended to the election page? I do not think there is enough information to create a separate page, but not sure where to place it either. Sputink (talk) 22:13, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sputink: Put it in an Aftermath section at the end of the article. That's where it usually goes. Cheers, Number 5 7 22:34, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Assembly results template

Hi User:Number 57. What's wrong with {{Ugandan_parliamentary_election,_2016}}? I've added the number of registered voters, was there anything else? - - Jarry1250 ^{[Vacation needed]} 22:52, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The main reasons are that it's really poorly formatted and doesn't match the presidential results table. There's just no need for it here. Cheers, Number 5 7 22:53, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've tweaked the formatting. Does that help? What don't you like? I don't feel strongly about the formatting to be honest -- happy to make any changes you want really -- I just need to reuse this table in other articles and kinda wanted something that replicated {{Ugandan_parliamentary_election,_2011}} so I could use them together on the same page. - Jarry1250 ^{[Vacation needed]} 23:02, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the changes, but it sill shouldn't be used here – the header is useful on other pages, but on the actual election article, it's pointless duplication. Cheers, Number 5 7 09:19, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
