News that singer Bahati – real name Kevin Kioko – is set to vie for Mathare MP seat on Jubilee party ticket, caused various reactions online.
Making the announcement at Jubilee Party’s Headquarters, Bahati said, “Mimi Mtoto Wa Mathare… I am a proud member of the Jubilee Party and the Azimio Movement. I am accepting the calling to vie for this seat.”
He continued, “Our biggest challenge as people from Mathare is that we have never received a leader who was born and raised in Mathare. We have been electing leaders but its time for Mathare to get a son who was born and raised In Mathare and understand the people.”

The musician now turned politician explained that he has been getting calls from Mathare residents urging him to rise to the challenge.
“We have been crying over and over again because of the same issues and you know if you rely on a visitor to lead you, they don’t know the struggles you go through,” Bahati noted.
Netizens were not convinced some dragged him saying, “If the elections were judged on online popularity and views, he would be announced the winner early in the morning, but it is not.”
However, in his defence, Bahati has run a number of successful community outreach programmes in Mathare seeing as he was an orphan housed in one of the children’s homes in the constituency.
He explained, “It’s time to change my home, it is time to change my background and where I come from…that is why I am vying as Member of Parliament for Mathare constituency under the Jubilee ticket.”
The Mama hitmaker will still have to prove his mettle among the big boy and girls in the race.
