He officially announced that he will be vying for the Mathare MP seat under the party’s ticket.
“Mimi Mtoto Wa Mathare… I am a proud member of the Jubilee Party and the Azimio Movement. I am accepting the calling to vie for this seat.”
Before his announcement, Bahati released a song in collaboration with ODM leader Raila Odinga dubbed ‘fire’.
Fire is a phrase the ODM leader has commonly been using in his campaign rallies.
In an analogy, Raila equates his supporters to an army, bullets to a voter’s card.
He always ends his speech by proclaiming ‘fire’, numerous times, to mean they should vote massively come August 9, polls to ensure he wins the presidency.
