Of note to commentators and the media was the non-discussion of Uganda , where opposition leader Kizza Besigye was arrested days before the CHOGM , and two months before the country 's first multiparty elections since Yoweri Museveni took power in 1986 . Uganda 's capital , Kampala , had been arranged to host the 2007 CHOGM , and the Commonwealth leaders were keenly aware that to hold the CHOGM in a country that was deemed undemocratic would reflect badly on the Commonwealth Secretariat and undermine the Commonwealth 's commitment to human rights and good governance
