 | | When the colony became an independent state, on 9th October 1962, it was named Uganda, the Swahili name of Buganda and its Kabaka, Sir Edward Muteesa II (king Freddie), became the first president. |
 | | However, the monarchy and much of Buganda's autonomy was revoked, along with that of the other 4 Ugandan kingdoms, in 1967, after Prime Minister Dr. Apollo Milton Obote abrogated the 1966 constitution and turned the state into a Republic. |
 | | The present kabaka, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II, was coronated on 31st July, 1993, in a world wide publicised ceremony. |
