Africa-Press – Uganda. Lawyer and politician Denis Adim Enap has said the increasing number of political parties in Uganda reflects deeper challenges within existing political structures, particularly the failure to accommodate diverse opinions.
Speaking to journalists, Enap noted that while the formation of new political parties is not inherently negative, it points to a lack of internal democracy and inclusivity in the country’s major political organisations.
“The creation of many political parties is not bad, but it is a manifestation of the failure to accommodate different opinions in our political parties,” Enap stated.
In recent years, Uganda has witnessed a steady rise in the registration of new political formations, as disgruntled members from established parties seek alternative platforms to express their views and ambitions.
Political analysts have warned that the fragmentation of opposition forces could weaken efforts to challenge the status quo, but others argue that it reflects a healthy demand for political expression and representation.
Enap emphasised the need for existing parties to embrace dialogue, inclusivity, and tolerance for differing perspectives if Uganda’s democracy is to mature and avoid unnecessary divisions.
The country’s political space remains vibrant, with over 25 registered parties, yet concerns persist over internal wrangles, factionalism, and the effectiveness of opposition unity.
