Uganda since 2005 has a so-called 'no party'-system: every Ugandan is supposed to be member of the "Movement" wich has replaced all the former parties. Each Ugandan can put himself/herself up for election to any public office purely on the basis of personal merit - and automatically on behalf of the Movement.

President Museveni has further done two things: he has made himself Chairman of the Movement, which of course gives him control over all cases of people putting themselves up for office; and he recently had the Constitution changed, removing the limitation on his being able to serve for only two terms of office.

So while this system formally speaking would probably be called a grass-roots, merit-driven democracy, others might call it a Presidential system with the president calling all the shots.
