The Uganda People's Congress (UPC) is a political party in Uganda. The Uganda People's Congress was founded in 1960 by Milton Obote, who led the country to Independence and later served two presidential terms under the party's banner. Obote was still party leader at the time of his death in October 2005, although he had previously announced his intention to step down.〔()〕 The party won nine out of 289 elected seats in the 2006 general election.〔()〕 In the presidential election of the same date, UPC candidate Miria Obote won 0.8% of the vote. On May 14, 2010, the party elected Dr. Olara Otunnu, a former United Nations undersecretary-general for children and armed conflict, to lead the party. He replaced Obote's widow Miria. == Background == The Uganda People's Congress dominated Ugandan politics from independence until 1971, when Milton Obote was overthrown by Idi Amin. The party returned to power under Obote in 1980 until he was overthrown again in 1985 by Tito Okello. The history of the UPC is intertwined with the ethnic divide that has plagued Uganda since it was a British protectorate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uganda People's Congress」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
