Abstract: | The break-up of the alliance between the Uganda People's Congress (UPC) of the prime minister A.M. Obote and the Kabaka Yekka, the parliamentary expression of Baganda neo-traditionalism, gives the political scene a unknown fluidity. It is still too early to determine how the various elements will rearrange themselves. The article analyses the two opposition parties, namely the Democratic Party with its president Kiwanuka and the parliamentary leader Bataringaya, and the Kabaka Yekka movement, which represents in the National Assembly the powerful kingdom of Buganda, and the UPC. The record of the government in the first two years of independence stands up better than that of any of the parties. It has set in motion important reforms inagriculture, administration and education. On the political front it is confronted with several major problem areas. A map of Uganda gives illumination. |
