The Uganda peoples congress branch and constituency elections of 1970¹

This is a revised version of a paper delivered at the Universities of East Africa Social Science Conference, held at Makerere University Kampala, 14–17 December 1971. It results from research originally conducted as part of a study of the expected Uganda general election, which was overtaken by the coup d'état of 25 January 1971. This study was planned and supervised by a sub‐committee of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at Makerere, under the chairmanship of D. L. Cohen. He would like to acknowledge the financial assistance of the Department and of the Uganda National Research Council and the cooperation and advice of those who participated in the study, with special thanks to Dan Mudoola and Peter Willetts.
