==Government==
Buganda is a [[constitutional monarchy]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.buganda.or.ug/index.php/our-history/kingdom-structure/katikkiro|title=Katikkiro|website=www.buganda.or.ug|language=en|access-date=29 April 2018}}</ref> The current Head of State is the [[Kabaka of Buganda|Kabaka]], [[Muwenda Mutebi II of Buganda|Muwenda Mutebi II]] who has reigned since the restoration of the kingdom in 1993. The Head of Government is the [[Katikkiro of Buganda|Katikkiro]] (Prime Minister, role established around 1800),<ref name=":8" /> currently fulfilled by [[Charles Mayiga]], who was appointed by the Kabaka in 2013.<ref name=":0" /> The Parliament of Buganda is the [[Lukiiko]]. For much of Buganda's history, [[clan head]]s had significant power and influence over the Kabaka, however over time, as clans became social rather than residential groupings, they lost their power. Succession went from brother to brother, who sometimes had different mothers of different clans, inviting power struggles between clan heads.<ref name=":8" /> In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Kabakas transitioned chiefly positions from being inherited to appointed.<ref name=":2" />

Prior to the [[Buganda Agreement (1900)|Buganda Agreement of 1900]], Buganda was an almost [[absolute monarchy]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/bitstream/2438/11589/1/FulltextThesis.pdf|title=A Critical Analysis of the Legal Construction of the Presidency in Post-1995 Uganda|last=Sekindi|first=Fredrick Derek|date=27 May 2015|publisher=Brunel University|access-date=29 April 2018}}</ref> Under the Kabaka, there were three types of chief: ''{{lang|sw|bakungu}}'' (administrative) chiefs, who were appointed directly by the Kabaka; traditional ''{{lang|sw|bataka}}'' chieftains; and ''{{lang|sw|batongole}}'' chiefs, who served as representatives of the Kabaka, charged with "maintaining internal security, supervising royal estates and military duties".<ref name="Jørgensen1981">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=09MNAAAAQAAJ|title=Uganda: a modern history|last=Jørgensen|first=Jan Jelmert|publisher=Taylor & Francis|year=1981|isbn=978-0-85664-643-0|page=69}}</ref> The 1900 agreement, however, greatly enhanced the power of the Lukiiko (which had previously been simply an advisory council) at the expense of the Kabaka.<ref name="Reid2017">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zDQEDgAAQBAJ&pg=PA158|title=A History of Modern Uganda|last=Reid|first=Richard J.|date=2017|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-107-06720-2|pages=158–160}}</ref> While Buganda retained self-government, as one part of the larger Uganda Protectorate, it would henceforth be subject to formal British overrule.<ref name=":1" /> The [[Buganda Agreement (1955)|Buganda Agreement of 1955]] continued the transition from absolute to constitutional monarchy.<ref name=":022">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YvMrBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA403|title=The Political Kingdom in Uganda: A Study in Bureaucratic Nationalism|last=Apter|first=David E.|date=1967|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-136-30757-7|pages=276–300}}</ref>

During Uganda independence, the constitutional position of Buganda (and the degree to which it would be able to exercise self-government) was a major issue.<ref name=":022"/> Discussions as part of the [[Uganda Relationships Commission]] resulted in the [[Buganda Agreement (1955)|Buganda Agreement of 1961]] and the first [[Constitution of Uganda]] (1962), as part of which Buganda would be able to exercise a high degree of autonomy. This position was reversed during 1966–67, however, before the Kabakaship and Lukiiko were disestablished altogether in 1967<ref name="Jørgensen19812">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=09MNAAAAQAAJ|title=Uganda: a modern history|last=Jørgensen|first=Jan Jelmert|publisher=Taylor & Francis|year=1981|isbn=978-0-85664-643-0|pages=229–231, 279}}</ref> before being restored in 1993.
