"No-party democracy" in Uganda

Article Abstract:

Uganda's National Resistance Movement has organized three national elections since its introduction in 1986. Each election, held in all villages, was observed to be fairer, more democratic and more open than the 1980 election. Pres Yoweri Museveni won over 70% of the votes in the 1996 no-party presidential election, defeating Paul Ssemogerere by a landslide. Most Ugandans see Museveni's victory as a validation to no-party democracy manifested by his landslide win and by Ssemogerere's willingness to support the Uganda People's Congress, the party which he formerly accused of cheating the Democratic Party.
