By 2000, Biya had shored up his government by forming a coalition with the northern-based UNDP, which had 13 Assembly seats, and with the UPC, which had one seat.

This artificial situation gave the DP a majority of seats, although they had a minority of 416, 000 votes nationwide versus 495, 000 for the UPC.

Moreover, the UPC had had no effective urban organization before independence, although it was able to mobilize the trade unions, most of which were led by non-Ugandan immigrant workers from Kenya ( a situation which contributed to the independent Uganda government's almost immediate hostility toward the trade unions ).

As for the UPC, Milton Obote, realising he had lost the election, saw the alliance as the way to power.

Obote as leader of the UPC was closely aligned to the Military Junta that had replaced Idi Amin and rather than strengthen the support of the party in the South of Uganda took up a more military approach.

In the elections of 1980, there was overwhelming suspicion that the UPC had rigged the result with the help of the Military Junta.
