Musician Joseph Mayanja is ready to contest as Kampala Lord Mayor in the next election, a position Erias Lukwago has held for close to a decade.
Very popular as he is, Lukwago has never faced stiff resistance from his opponents he previously contested with.
But with new faces announcing their bid, it seems the Lord Mayor election will be something Ugandans need to follow come 20121.
“Politics and leadership are totally two different things, for me I have been a leader so I want to serve my people. Political parties can cause discrimination and division among our people” he stated.
Chameleon added that joining politics was not his dreams but it’s the Kampala people who requested him to represent them
“I have travelled in different countries and seen different cities, I want service delivery and I know I will transform Kampala city.”
On clashing with with Lukwago, Mayanja said the current Lord Mayor must know that change is the fact of life.
“Lord Mayor should understand that people will come after him because change is a factor of life, even me there many artists who will come after me,” he added.
Chameleon said he is not joining politics because of money or a job but transformation issues and honoring people’s request.
