Though he admitted that such ambitions are not part of his immediate objectives, comedian-turned-activist Eric Omondi has suggested that he might enter politics.

In response to questions about whether he has political aspirations, particularly in the Langa'ta seat, Omondi made the remarks on Friday during a media interview at Lion Place in Westlands.

"I'm not replacing or planning to replace anyone, but given the chance, I would," he declared.

Since the August House is where laws are produced, Omondi claimed that serving in Parliament will provide him a better opportunity to advocate for Kenyans' rights.

He slammed the MPs who supported the Finance Bill 2023, saying they should no longer be members of Parliament since they betrayed Kenyans.

When pressed further on his political ambitions, Omondi said he has never eyed the Lang'ata parliamentary seat but if the electorate in the constituency wishes to have him as their parliamentary representative, he will answer the call.

"I have never talked about Lang'ata (but if it's) Kenyans this is what I will tell them. The voice of the people is God's voice."
