Octopizzo Hints at Joining Politics as Maraga’s Running Mate: “The People Shall!”
Celebrated Kenyan rapper Octopizzo has sent ripples through the political scene after suggesting he has been asked to serve as former Chief Justice David Maraga’s running mate in the upcoming 2027 general election.
“Nimeambiwa nikue running mate. The people shall!” The message, a mix of Swahili and English, loosely translates to, “I have been told to be a running mate,” sparking immediate buzz across social media platforms.
Although neither Octopizzo nor Maraga has issued an official announcement, the post has ignited discussions about the possible entry of public figures outside traditional political circles into leadership roles.
Octopizzo, known for his influence in the music industry and his advocacy for social justice and youth empowerment, has previously expressed interest in issues affecting the urban poor and marginalized communities.
David Maraga, respected for his integrity during his time at the helm of Kenya’s judiciary, remains a symbol of accountability and firm leadership.
A partnership between the two would present an unexpected yet intriguing political ticket that merges grassroots activism with legal credibility.
Whether this is a serious move toward the ballot or a strategic message aimed at testing public sentiment, Octopizzo has managed to capture national attention.
As Kenyans prepare for a high-stakes election season, all eyes will be on whether this artist-turned-activist will indeed make the leap into politics.
