 KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - Ugandans voted Thursday on whether to allow a multiparty system, which was banned for 19 years by a president who argued that he needed to keep tribal divisions in check.
The referendum was the first step in reforming the East African country's constitution, which forbids political parties from campaigning in elections.
President Yoweri Museveni banned multiparty politics when he came to power in 1986, insisting political parties were tribally based and responsible for years of civil war.
