Controversial Kenyan singer Kevin Kioko, better known by his stage name Bahati, has announced ambitions to run for governor in the upcoming elections.
While performing at a Zetech University event, where he told the students that he would be entering their school to obtain his degree as he prepared for the elections, Bahati made the announcement.
The 'Adhiambo' hitmaker, however, did not explicitly reveal which county he wishes to run for president, but people are speculating that the young guy may be working on entering the race against Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja in 2027.
"Nilianguka MP lakini juu na simama governor nakuja hapa kufanya degree!"
(I failed to clench the MP seat that I was vying for but now that I am vying as a governor I will come here to get my degree) declared the father of 5.
"Mnataka nikuje Zetech? Wangapi mnataka nikuje Zetech?"
(Do you guys want me to come to Zetech? How many here want me to join the university)
proudly questioned the performer as he proceeded to excitedly start singing and enthrall the audience.
Bahati's political career very recently got underway.
The father of five stood for the Mathare MP seat in 2022. He later sobbed stated that he was forced to withdraw as the Jubilee Party's candidate in favour of Anthony Oluoch of the ODM.
Despite all of his obstacles, Bahati persisted in running for the seat that he ultimately lost.
Bahati renounced Jubilee after the August elections and joined President Ruto's UDA group instead. He expressed his regret to the president and said he understood why he was disappointed in him.
