Effects of the 1953 Kabaka crisis.
Created a sense of unity among the Baganda as they combined efforts to demand for the return and restoration of Kabaka Mutesa II.
Led to the signing of the Namirembe agreement. This cleared way for the return of the Kabaka while also reducing the king’s powers more.
Demonstrations were carried out in Buganda areas like Nakulabye. Men vowed never to shave off until their king in back.
The colonial government appointed more Africans to the colonial administration.
Encouraged the growth of nationalism in the whole of Uganda. The crisis had showed Ugandans the determination of colonialists to stay on hence more demands for independence.
Led to formation of new political parties which began by demanding of the return of Kabaka and finally for independence.
The crisis and the Namirembe agreement affected the position of the Kabaka. His reduced powers as we approached independence laid ground for his eventual over throw in the 1966 crisis with Obote .M.
The idea of East African Federation was completely ruled out after the crisis.
Increased the popularity of the Kabaka especially among the Baganda as well as other areas of Uganda.
