POLITICS
Ugandan Political Cartoon
Uganda is formally a republic, headed by the President. The president is both chief of state and head of government. Political parties could not exist in Uganda under the Museveni administration. During his presidency, Museveni was a member of the Movement (formerly the National Resistance Movement), which claims to be an organization rather than a political party. Other political organizations include the Uganda Patriotic Movement, Democratic Party, Uganda People’s Congress, and the Conservative Party.
