Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish the whether party politics necessarily lead to
democratic governance in Uganda in general and Kampala district in particular. This was
premised on the argument that whereas party politics have been embraced by many countries
across the globe with the fall of communism, and in spite of the fact that it is seen as a panacea
for democratization and good governance, most of the countries that have embraced party
politics are far from realizing democratic governance. The main objective of the study was to
find out how party politics impacts on democratic governance in Kampala district. The research
methodology applied was descriptive in nature whereby both qualitative and quantitative
techniques were employed. The findings were that majority of the respondents believe that party
politics can lead to the promotion of democratic governance if well handled. The study
concluded that democratic governance in Uganda may never be achieved unless the rules of the
game in the politics of Uganda are respected and observed. The study recommended that there
should be separation of powers between different arms of government, equal and inclusive
participation of citizens, accountability and transparency and rule of law for democratic
governance to take root in Uganda.
