Mathare MP aspirant Kevin Kioko, alias Bahati has been reduced to tears this morning (25.04.2022) while addressing the media at a city hotel.
In a video seen by The Sauce, an emotional Bahati claimed that the party had recalled the certificate he had been given even after winning in all the opinion polls.
He further said he was told to step down in favour of the sitting MP Anthony Oluoch, a decision he was not ready to make.
“I was told to step down after receiving the nomination certificate,” he said, adding that even with the new developments he was not going to step down from the Mathare Parliamentary race.
He complained of a fraudulent process in awarding the Jubilee party nomination certificate even after the party conducted free and fair primaries. “I personally have made a decision that I’m not backing down from the race. My name will be on the ballot on August 9.”
The MP aspirant said that he is a loyal supporter of President Uhuru Kenyatta and Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga but he felt he had been shortchanged.
His cries come after Starehe MP and fellow musician Jaguar whose real name is Charles Kanyi Njagua decried losing the UDA nomination ticket last week.
