The Ugandan government operates as a unitary presidential republic, where the President serves as both the head of state and government. The current President, Yoweri Museveni, has been in power since 1986. The government is structured into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judiciary, with a multi-party system allowing for various political parties to participate in elections. The Parliament of Uganda is a bicameral legislature, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Local governments also play a crucial role in administration, allowing for decentralized governance. The government focuses on economic development, infrastructure improvement, and social services to enhance the quality of life for its citizens.
