UNLA fought alongside Tanzanian forces in the Uganda - Tanzania War that led to the overthrow of Idi Amin ' s regime . The group ruled Uganda from the overthrow of Amin in April 1979 until the disputed national elections in December 1980 . Creation . The UNLF was formed as an outcome of a meeting of Ugandan exiles from 24 to 26 March 1979 in the northern Tanzanian town of Moshi . In the meeting , known as the Moshi Conference , 28 groups were represented . The groups that united to form UNLA included Kikosi Maalum led by Milton Obote ( with Tito Okello and David Oyite Ojok as commanders ) ; FRONASA led by Yoweri Museveni ; Save Uganda Movement led by Akena p ' Ojok , William Omaria and Ateker Ejalu ; and Uganda Freedom Union with Godfrey Binaisa , Andrew Kayiira and Olara Otunnu in leading positions . Governance . UNLF was governed by an 11 - member Executive Council originally chaired by Yusuf Lule . This was accompanied by a National Consultative Council ( NCC ) with one member for each of the 28 groups represented at the meeting . Its military arm , UNLA , fought side - by - side with the Tanzania People ' s Defence Force ( TPDF ) in the Uganda - Tanzania War and invaded Uganda , taking Kampala in April 1979 and sending Amin to exile . Overthrowing of Idi Amin . Following the overthrow of Amin on 11 April 1979 , a new UNLF government was formed under Yusuf Lule with the UNLA becoming the new national army . The leadership of the UNLF was unstable , with infighting leading to the ousting of Lule in June 1979 . His replacement , Godfrey Binaisa , ruled for less than twelve months before being placed under house arrest in May 1980 following an effective coup by Paulo Muwanga . A Presidential Commission was installed with elections planned for December 1980 . The exiles who formed the UNLF needed to put aside their political differences to do so . They were only united by one thing : an opposition to Amin . For this reason , the UNLF did not contest the elections with its members supporting various parties . Following a widely disputed victory for the Uganda People ' s Congress ( UPC ) led by former president Milton Obote , many of the UNLF founding members would go on to fight against the now UPC - controlled UNLA . The UNLA was defeated on January 25 , 1986 by the guerrilla s of the National Resistance Army ( NRA ) led by Yoweri Museveni , a former member of the UNLF executive council and a minister in the UNLF government . There was a tribal conflict between the Acholi and Langi , that led to the coup d ' état making Tito Okello Lutwa president of the republic . Tito Okello invited Museveni for peace talk in Kenya but Museveni agenda was to remove the entire Luo from the power base in Uganda .
