Ignatius Kangave Musaazi

Ignatius Musaazi together with Abubaker Kakyama Mayanja formed the Uganda National Congress (UNC) in 1952.

Musaazi became the first President General of the UNC which was the first national political party in Uganda.

The UNC was formed; 

To unite all Ugandans in the struggle for independence. To put Uganda's economy in the hands of Ugandans.

They wanted people to control most of the economic activities. To fight for the rights of peasant farmers and improved prices for produce. 

The UNC being the first party it had supporters from all parts of the country. The founder members of the party later disagreed and formed other political organisations.
