Mathare Parliamentary seat candidate and musician Kelvin Kioko, also known as Bahati, appears to have run out of luck after the Azimio One Kenya Coalition chose Anthony Aluoch to represent them in Mathare.
During a joint delegates meeting of ODM and Jubilee on Monday, ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna stated that its candidate Aluoch is preferred to run for the seat, and Bahati, who was running on a Jubilee ticket, will step aside.
Sifuna stated that now that Bahati has been dropped from the race, he will be offered a position in the Azimio-One Kenya outfit if he wins the August elections.
“Our colleagues from Jubilee will be presenting their candidates from eight constituencies and those from ODM will present some from eight constituencies,”_ said Sifuna.
_”Zoning was done perfectly even here in Mathare we have agreed that its an ODM zone. We only have one candidate in Mathare and that is Anthony Oluoch, this young man called Bahati is my younger brother and we will talk. I will make sure that we find him another position within the Azimio government.”
Rachel Shebesh, Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) of the Ministry of Public Service, Youth, and Gender Affairs, who was also present, asked Bahati to put his ambitions on hold.
According to Shebesh, even Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi dropped his ambition to support Igathe, who is now Azimio’s preferred candidate for Nairobi governor.
