## Curation

Raw data was downloaded from OpenAfrica via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (`N/A`, `null`, `none`, `-`, `unknown`, `no data`, `#N/A`) were unified to `NaN`. 4 column(s) with >80% missing values were removed: `twitter`, `facebook`, `start_date`, `end_date`. 54 exact duplicate rows were removed. The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

---

## Limitations

- Data originates from Code for Africa and has not been independently validated by ESA.
- Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
- The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling: `email`, `area`, `image`.
- Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://open.africa/dataset/10th-parliament-of-uganda) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
