 | | The UNLA ousted Yusef Lule and installed Godfrey Binaisa, the attorney general during Obote's first government, as president. |
 | | In August 1979, Binaisa's government imposed a ban on political parties, believing that with such a ban Uganda would avoid "the politics of religion, sectarianism, rivalry and hatred, and be able to work for and even achieve the politics of consensus"59-an argument similar to the one made by President Museveni today. |
