In Masindi—

Wilson Isingoma Mugimba the former Masindi district LCV contestant has withdrawn the petition he filed against Cosmas Byaruhanga, and the electoral commission.

Mugimba ran to Masindi High Court challenging the victory of Cosmas Byuhanga the LCV Masindi distrct. Mugimba petitioned that Byaruhanga who was declared the National Resistance Movement – NRM flag bearer was not the true bearer.

After the NRM primaries in 2020, Mugimba ran to the NRM secretariat in Kampala challenging the victory of Byaruhanga, Mugimba cited that Byaruhanga had involved in vote bribery in Bujenje, Bwijanga, Budongo, and areas.

However, when Mugimba ran to the NRM secretariat to challenge his opponent, Byaruhanga had already been nominated as the NRM flag bearer for Masindi district LCV seat.

According to Simon Kasangaki the lawyer representing Byaruhanga Cosmas, Mugimba wrongly filed his case.

He says that Mugimba filed his case as a civil suit and later asked to change as an electoral commission but court injected it.

“A suit cannot call for the cancellation of someone’s election,” He said.

Mugimba who bounced back as an Independent Candidate for the seat lost to his opponent Cosmas Byaruhanga.

In Kampala—

Legendary singer Joseph Mayanja alias Jose Chameleone, is reportedly bedridden.

News of his illness came through after a close source to the singer intimated to Dembe FM’s gossip king Isaac Katende alias Kasuku on how he saw Chameleone checking into a hospital in the areas of Seguku on Thursday 19th, 2021.

Basing on Kasuku’s explanation, Chameleone could be battling a sickness related to the liver and pancreas due to too much consumption of alcoholic drinks and spirits.

More reports indicate that the ‘Wale Wale’ singer has tried quitting taking alcohol and spirits and he apparently only drinks wine in an effort to distance himself from consuming alcoholic drinks.

In August last year, the Leone Island Music Empire boss was also hospitalized and believed to be nursing a strange illness.

Information then indicated that the former Kampala Lord Mayor aspirant was admitted to Nsambya Hospital where he spent five days.

Chameleone was seen lying on a hospital bed, seemingly in pain, with a cannula fixed on his arm.

“Yeah, I was there today. Just left but he is better than he was yesterday,” Chameleon’s Manager Bijou Fortunate confirmed his sickness.
