However, following the arrest of Bobi Wine in Luuka yesterday and consequent detention, Chameleone claims he will not proceed with campaigns.

We have suspended our Lord Mayoral Campaigns in solidarity with our Presidential candidate. The election is a very delicate moment; it defines our history. Our generation must not take election mismanagement lightly. Everyone must stand for Hon Kyagulanyi and all paining Ugandans’ rights for the future of this country. We call for freedom and release of Hon Kyagulanyi.,” he said.
