The Role of Political Parties in Strengthening Democracy: Challenges and Solutions

Описание: In this discussion the panelists are discussing the formation, evolution, and challenges faced by political parties in Uganda, with a focus on how these parties can contribute to building a better political culture in the country.

The discussion includes the historical origins of political parties in Uganda, which trace back to the colonial era when the formation of political parties was allowed to lead the country to independence. The panelists highlight the regional and ethnic orientations that many parties have, leading to divisions and identity politics within the country's politics. They also discuss the influence of money and how it has taken precedence over issues of integrity and ethics within political parties.

The discussion centers around the need to address the national question and build a national state in Uganda. The panelists emphasise that political parties should prioritise building unity beyond regional and ethnic identities, but also acknowledge that these identities are still significant in the country's politics. They call for a focus on organisation and leadership within political parties rather than relying on external funding, and stress the importance of addressing issues of morality and ethics within party ranks.
