Milton Obote wound up plainly Ugandan President twice. He is the father of nation and the great leader of his country. He drove Uganda to Independence from Britain in 1962, getting to be plainly Prime Minister.  Customarily, the Bugandan King or Kabaka moved toward becoming President, despite the fact that the position was thought to be just formal. He was ousted by Idi Amin in 1971 and fled to Tanzania. In 1980 he returned home to Uganda following the Ugandan intrusion by Tanzanian powers and the ensuing testimony of Amin.

Whenever Britain conceded freedom to Uganda in 1962, there were a few conditions that were forced on the Independent State's organization. The British had connected the approach of Indirect Rule in the majority of the provinces that they colonized. This arrangement of government appeared to have worked rather consummately in Uganda, with the customary Kings of the Baganda and the Kabakas being the best in attesting pioneer manage in Uganda. At the point when Uganda was being set up for freedom, starting in the second 50% of the 1950s, Britain was on edge to guarantee that their partners (the Kabaka) amid the pilgrim time were dealt with by the new government.

To mitigate the feelings of dread of Uganda's previous pilgrim overlords, Obote consented to wind up plainly Prime Minister, leaving the position of President to the Kabaka Yekka, with whom he had gone into a free organization together. The Kabaka however was upheld for the most part by a capable Buganda instructed first class who were additionally trying to expand their increases in the new state.

Obote at that point founded one-party run the show. This, be that as it may, neglected to bind together Ugandans. In 1971, when Obote was going to a meeting of Commonwealth Heads of State in Singapore, Idi Amin arranged an overthrow and dismissed him. On his arrival Obote looked for shelter in Tanzania from he censured the political; overabundances of his successor, who had gone on a mass executing of political adversaries. In 1979, with the assistance of Nyerere's Tanzanian Army, Amin was toppled. Obote got another opportunity to end up President of Uganda. He is the hero of national heroes of Uganda.
