Ugandans decide on voting reform

Ugandans chose whether or not to allow multi-party politics in the East African country in a referendum today, the first step in reforming the country’s constitution, which forbids political parties from campaigning in elections.

President Yoweri Museveni banned multi-party politics when he came to power in 1986, insisting political parties were tribally-based and responsible for years of partisan violence and civil war.
