He was first elected in 2001. He narrowly lost his parliamentary seat in the 2006 Ugandan general election to Kirunda Kivejinja but successfully challenged the result, citing widespread malpractices. The court found that "during the campaign period and on polling day, there was wide-spread intimidation, and torture in Bugweri Constituency", biasing the result in favour of Kivejinja.
In the 2011 general elections, he was re-elected for another term in Parliament.
