Obote was elected to the legislative council in 1958, and a UPC alliance with the royalist Kaboka Yekka (King Alone) party enabled him to win the 1962 elections. After being overthrown by Amin, he supported a guerrilla movement against Amin in 1971 while exiled in Tanzania. He was reinstalled as president in 1980 after the UPC claimed a majority of the votes, although the result was contested by other parties.
