Nalukoola took the oath of office two days after his byelection victory was gazetted by the national Electoral Commission.
He replaces the late Muhammad Ssegirinya, who died in January this year before completing his term as MP.
That means Nalukoola will finish off the remaining portion of the term ahead of next year's general elections.
The NUP flagbearer beat nine other contestants in the March 13 by-election.
They included:
▪️ Faridah Nambi Kigongo (NRM)
▪️ Sadat Mukiibi aka Khalifah Aganaga (FDC)
▪️ Henry Kasacca Mubiru (DP)
▪️ Ismail Musiitwa (PPP)
▪️ Muhammed Lusswa Luwemba (independent)
