Singer Jose Chameleon, who is aspiring for Kampala Lord Mayorship, has used part of the huge financial contribution that was recently given to him by a friendly Southern Sudan tycoon to acquire a vast property in Namirembe (near Pastor Simeon Kayiwa’s church). This will serve as the headquarters of Chameleon who continues to be patronized by DP Block giants.
Acquired through DP Block’s Henry Lubowa, who must have pocketed a fatty commission from the owner, the very imposing property is located on a hilly part of the Namirembe neighborhood and has a very huge compound and parking area. Chameleon handlers have also planned to put a modern restaurant at one end of the huge compound to cash in on thousands of political supporters who will be frequenting the place in the coming weeks and months.
Chameleon, whose celebrity status continues to frighten many even at Kamwokya, took this bold step to shield himself against the impending betrayal he anticipates from the Kamwokya-based PP/NUP leadership whose influencers are determined to bypass him and give the Lord Mayorship flag to cracking Latif Sebaggala who has been pushed into running against the indomitable Erias Lukwago to pave way for Suleiman Kidandala Serwadda to replace him as the next Kawempe North MP (see related story here https://mulengeranews.com/uncertanity-as-bobi-wine-rejects-latif-chameleon-calling-them-top-moles-considers-fronting-joel/).
Mulengera News understands that there will be a grand public ceremony on Monday to officially unveil this office as the headquarters of Chameleon’s Lord Mayoral campaigns. Preparations are already underway to ensure the inauguration ceremony turns out very successful and in the process attracting massive publicity for Chameleon and his DP Block mentors. But for many in DP Block, the new office means much more beyond just Chameleon’s Mayoral bid. Many of the DP Block bosses already know and are beginning to have political premonition that the Mercy Walukamba-led Electoral Commission has already been manipulated to sideline and deny them NUP flag bearerships in majority constituencies in Kampala Metropolitan districts of especially Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono. The reason for this is that the NUP Principal Bobi Wine Kyagulanyi Sentamu has already been incited against them as politically too shrewd to be managed by a new political entrant of his exposure and experience.
Indeed, they are already perceived as unwanted in Kamwokya with Joel Senyonyi (an influential member of the PAT Gang) last Sunday telling them off during the Nakawa West candidates’ meeting thus: “By the way why don’t you return to your small parties like DP and leave us in peace?” See related reporting here https://mulengeranews.com/how-senyonyis-nakawa-mp-bid-cost-mukaku-nup-elections-top-position/. So as plan B, many such DP Block adherents are looking forward to sheltering at the Chameleon headquarters as they prepare to take on NUP flag bearers on the independent ticket. Having realized the depth of the Kyagulanyi wave, none of them is prepared to openly take him on for now but they are planning to Bell the Cat some day after the 2021 elections has come and gone. They will be running as NUP-leaning independents wholly sold to marketing Mr. Wine for Presidency but they rightly know that SG Lewis Rubongoya or even Mr. Wine himself will be banning them from ever stepping at Kamwokya the moment they defy the Walukamba report and run as NUP-leaning independents. Chameleon, perhaps preparing to take advantage of the impending fallout, has already given each one of them a standing invitation saying “this is your political home too.”
The growing consensus among DP Block adherents is that whoever will be unable to coordinate from Kamwokya after defying the Walukamba report and insisting to run as independents, can operate from Chameleon’s headquarters since people there too will equally be operating and mobilizing support under the auspices of PP. Chameleon has planned to demarcate or partition the Namirembe compound in such a way that mobilizers professing PP from the different parts of KMP can conduct simultaneous meetings for their respective areas in case Magere or Kamwokya turns out too hostile to enable them to.
The spacious parking space has become an additional attraction for the DP Block diehards who Chameleon has permitted to take refuge at his secretariat in case their political relationship with Kamwokya becomes irretrievably fractured and they become declared persona non grata (unwelcome persons) at the PP/NUP headquarters. Chameleon, who rightly knows that Mr. Wine fears the possibility of being overshadowed and eclipsed someday, is anticipating such major fall outs between the PP/NUP core and the DP Block adherents over failure to agree on joint candidates and he is positioning himself to become the natural leader of dissenters who are likely to be expelled from Kamwokya and declared persona non grata especially during the campaigning period.
