“I am still committed to my leadership aspirations,” Alien Skin stated confidently. He indicated that he is currently preparing and laying the groundwork for his campaign. His announcement comes after a tumultuous period marked by personal challenges and public scrutiny following incidents related to revenge porn that led to legal troubles.
Earlier this month, Alien Skin had voiced ambitions to run for higher office but became skeptical about Uganda’s electoral processes. Despite these setbacks, he feels revitalized after receiving a warm welcome upon his release from prison. “I really want to take up the position of Lord Mayor in Kampala,” he reiterated.
As he embarks on this new chapter in his life, Alien Skin’s potential candidacy is likely to attract significant attention and debate regarding the role of artists in politics and their ability to connect with voters on pressing urban issues.
