Unless he changes his mind and opts for presidential race as per his political ambitions, we can confirm that the former lord mayoral contestant, Michael Mabikke has kick started his 2016 campaigns as Lord Mayor of Kampala.

The calculative Mabikke is utilizing the political rivalry between Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and KCCA director Jenifer Musisi to tell the voters in Kampala how they missed him.

Mabikke is reportedly spending some reasonable time in Kampala every month launching projects aimed at driving poverty out of the Kampala residents.

Of course this is not good news to Erias Lukwago who is now engaging in administrative battles with Ms Musisi.

Reports are not yet clear whether Lukwago will seek re-election. But in case he does, Mabikke has stormed the ground much earlier than him.
