Abstract:On 29 June 2000, Ugandans voted in a political referendum to retain the movement system of politics. The referendum, held under the stipulation of the Uganda Constitution, offered voters a choice of the system of governance. The overwhelming support for President Yoweri Museveni's movement system of governance raises important questions about the form of governance which operates within Uganda. For some, it is a unique and appropriate system suited to very particular circumstances and the historical instability which have characterized Uganda's political history. For others, it is no more than a camouflage for what is in effect a one-party State. The present article describes and discusses this specific Ugandan system of governance. Notes, ref.
