The President of Uganda is the head of state in Uganda. The role began as a largely ceremonial position, with the Prime Minister holding the true power. The first president was the king of Buganda, due to the power of the monarchist Kebaka Yekka party. In 1966 Prime Minister Milton Obote suspended the Ugandan consitution and became both Prime Minister and President. From this point on the Presidency became the most powerful office in Ugandan politics.
