Six of the club members were part of the founding group of 36 which started the Kabaka Yekka movement.   When Benedicto Kiwanuka’s Democratic Party won the 1961 elections, it was a wakeup call to the Baganda loyalists that despite Buganda government’s call for boycott of the election the desire for self-rule was overriding.   Three months after the election, Masembe-Kabali, a wealthy Muganda landlord and a Kabaka loyalist, decided to launch a movement to drum up support for the Kabaka among the Baganda. Kabaka Yekka was not started as a political party, but as a movement to rally Buganda against any change in the status quo.   Writing in the Journal of Modern African Studies, Vol. 12, No. 1 of March 1974 I.
