Uganda Federal Alliance


Uganda Federal Alliance is a national political party in Uganda which was registered to Electoral Commission of Uganda on July 19, 2010. The party's political platform centers on the establishment of a federal system of government that would create semi-autonomous regions based on historical kingdoms and cultural areas, including Buganda, Bunyoro, Ankole, and Tooro, each with significant powers over local governance, taxation, and cultural affairs. The UFA argues that such a system would reduce ethnic tensions, improve service delivery, and enhance democratic participation by bringing government closer to the people, while also preserving Uganda's rich cultural diversity and traditional institutions.

Seats in Parliament

In the 2011 Ugandan general election, this party was in fifth place in presidential race.
During the 2011 Ugandan general election, the party fielded candidates in 15 constituencies across central and western Uganda, focusing primarily on areas with strong traditional kingdom affiliations, though it struggled to gain significant electoral support in a political landscape dominated by the National Resistance Movement and major opposition parties. In 2016 Ugandan general election, Uganda Federal Alliance got six seats in Parliament of Uganda. The party has since focused on grassroots mobilization and civic education campaigns, organizing seminars and workshops in rural communities to explain the benefits of federalism and build support for constitutional reform that would enable the implementation of their proposed federal system.

Governance

The Uganda Federal Alliance has maintained its commitment to federal governance principles since its registration, advocating for decentralized political structures that would grant greater autonomy to Uganda's various regions and cultural groups. Despite facing challenges in national elections, the party continues to operate with its central offices in Kampala and maintains active membership particularly in the Central Region, where it has established its primary organizational base under the leadership of Robert Luggya Kayingo.
