Abstract
The paper focuses on ethnocentrism as an active factor for national election turmoil in Uganda.
The bewitchment of the military by ethnocentric virus, the subsequent coups and overthrows, to
the military regimes and dictatorships by successive presidents since 1966, the 1980, 1996, 2001
and 2006 presidential elections, can account for ethnocentric tendencies in the Pearl of Africa.
Thereafter, the paper discusses the 1996, 2001 and 2006 general elections held in Uganda before
propounding implications for the country’s future.
