 Political Parties in the Legislature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
political control of the legislature does not guarantee a party control of the executive branch --since the chief executive is separately elected and may be from another party.
Parties in presidential systems are sometimes less structured, and failure to vote with one’s party does not threaten to bring down the government (though it might damage or even ruin one's political career).
The logic cited by the movement is that political parties in Uganda have historically contributed to regional, religious and ethnic cleavages and violence, and that the main opposition parties are internally undemocratic.

 UPC ..::|::.. Uganda Peoples Congress
The real objective, in fact, is to remove the political Parties altogether from Uganda's body politic and to obliterate from the Constitution the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual and thereby enable the dictatorship to conscript, by law, every citizen as members of its Party.
The Uganda Peoples Congress is one of the major political parties in Uganda and has played a leading role in shaping the destiny of Uganda.
As a political Party, the Uganda Peoples Congress has not fraternized with the NRM/NRA dictatorship but has struggled since 1986 in a most hostile political environment and now vows to increase its struggle and campaign against the dictatorship, for the restoration of the fundamental human rights and freedoms of every individual citizen of Uganda.

 Gender implications for opening up political parties in Uganda
Political indicators in our country today point to an impending opening up of political parties that will allow for the uninhibited operation of parties that are free to compete for state power.
So, regardless of what political system is in control of the state, and regardless of the lofty rhetoric, when Ugandan women lift the veil off the face of the state, they see nothing but deeply entrenched norms of male privilege and power embedded therein.
Whether the bolt on political parties is unscrewed tomorrow or whether the movement system consolidates its stranglehold, Ugandan women should keep a critical distance from the state, increase its autonomy and focus on the real issues that keep them in a subordinate position.
