In liberal democracy, it is obvious political parties play a
critical role in deepening democratic process. Besides,
providing veritable avenue for popular participation, they
are celebrated mechanism for political mobilization, guiding
policy formulation, implementation and much more significant
guards against dictatorship. In Uganda, there is evidence
that political parties have not been adequately
institutionalized. This can be seen in a manner in which
they have process in the country. The efforts of political
parties to woo supporters in the hope of making a mark at
various levels of government, overheats the polity. This
been attempting to foster democratic governance in the past
and how their current revival to practice multiparty
politics fails to strengthen democratic paper advances the
position of political parties in furthering democracy in
Uganda. It suggests that the current activities of political
parties are ill equipped in broadening democratic dividends.
Key words:
Political parties, democracy and governance. |
