However, as the party celebrates 60 years of its existence in Uganda from the time it was formed in 1956, Many of its members have defected to other political parties and pressure groups in the country,.

In the late fifties when the party was formed, it focused much on improving the livelihoods of Ugandans, fought for justice and equality.
