Jose Chameleone Picks People Power Nomination Forms To Oust Lukwago
July 10, 2020
The Democratic Party (DP) national mobiliser and singer Jose Chameleone has picked People Power nomination forms to contest for Kampala Lord Mayor in the forthcoming general election in 2021.
Chameleone, (legal name Joseph Mayanja), had officially joined DP in July last year and the party president Norbert Mao appointed him as a national mobiliser for the green political outfit.
Explaining away his previous public allegiance to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), Chameleone told a DP congregation on his unveiling that his family had always been DP members including his grandparents.

He said then, “I was only there (in NRM) because of my popularity. I was just hired but I swear and you can trace my roots. I am DP.”
Although he had officially joined DP, Chameleone never stopped associating with the People Power movement after declaring his intentions of run for the Kampala Lord Mayor slot in the 2021 elections. On Friday morning, he picked People Power nomination forms at their head offices in Kamwokya to run against incumbent Erias Lukwago.
In his speech, Chameleone said that he was inspired by the People Power ideals as espoused by Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine who asked him to side with the people and not NRM.
Chameleone said the turning point came when, “I was going to the USA for business and he (Bobi Wine) was also heading there for treatment. He told me that the power is with the people and that it was time for us to take on leadership. When we reached, I thought about it a lot and realised that I wasn’t any different from the oppressed.”
