Kabaka Yekka

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kabaka Yekka (KY, Luganda for " The Kabaka Alone ") was a monarchist party in Uganda . It was founded in the spring of 1961 and was associated with the King of Buganda , the Kabaka, who sought an independent Buganda.

While boycotting the March 1961 elections, Kabaka Yekka won 21 seats in the 1962 National Assembly elections and formed a coalition with the Uganda People's Congress (UPC) under Milton Obote . By 1965, many of the Kabaka Yekkas MPs transferred to the UPC camp, so that the Kabaka eventually dissolved the party.
