Former media personality Jamal Gaddafi has explained how his friends disappointed him when he wanted to vie for a political position.
Jamal who wanted to vie for an MP seat in Malindi explained that he was forced to drop his political bid since his friends refused to support him.
"People asked me why I stepped down from the Malindi MP race, I had ambitions to run for office, I created public forums for friends to support me but the truth is the enemy of a young person is another young person. 99% of the friends I have did not support me."
Jamal Gaddafi went on to state that he learned that having many friends does not mean they will all support you in your dreams.
"The number of friends surrounding you doesn’t mean they are going to support you, I will continue to listen to older people because I have witnessed for myself," he said.
"When I needed my peers they were not there, with my peers let’s talk about other things, and then that’s it."
Jamal promised to support any young person who will ever need his support whenever he has support.
"When I have an opportunity to support another young person I will and it does not have to be a person from within my area or one who is known to me, I will support anyone regardless," he noted.
Jamal's confession comes a week after another aspirant regretted spending his money on campaigns but ended up losing.
Festus Kithinji, an aspiring MCA in Meru was left in tears after no one voted for him.
This despite him using all his resources to campaign and help the community of Mbeu Ward in Meru.
The man expressed his displeasure in a now-viral video that left many Kenyans in stitches where he accused voters of refusing to vote for him despite him helping the voters for over 3 years.
"Mlikula pesa ya mheshimiwa na hamkuekelea kura?" he started the video.
