Few days ago, we witnessed fierce war of words between Kenyan musician Kevin Bahati Kioko and ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna over Mathare MP seat.
The two have been trading harsh words on social media following Sifuna’s announcement that Bahati had stepped down in favour of the ODM candidate in Mathare constituency, Anthony Oluoch.
Sifuna shared a short clip of the Jubilee party leadership confirming that Bahati was no longer in the Mathare race.
In his words, the ODM SG alleged that he will only accept Bahati’s apology through his wife Diana Marua – this after the singer lectured him over what he termed as propagating fake news about his candidature.
Diana Marua is ordinarily a very patient person, but not with a fan who brought up the Mathare MP issue involving her husband Bahati and ODM lawmaker Edwin Sifuna.
The fan took to Diana’s social media pages to comment about the ongoing drama involving Azimio and Jubilee’s fight over who will represent the Mathare constituency in the coming elections.
“Ahsante sana wana Jubilee Party Nairobi for resolving the Mathare question for us. We now have a candidate. Hio kijana ya kulia lia nitachukua apology yake kwa Diana personally [Let the crying boy know I will accept an apology through his wife Diana, personally],” Sifuna captioned the Jubilee Party video.
Bahati clapped back at Sifuna, asking him to refrain from mentioning his wife’s name. He went on to allege that Sifuna had been paid by his opponent to soil his bid as the next Mathare MP.
“F*ck you Mr Sifuna. Keep your mouth away from mentioning my wife in your cheap politics! Have some respect for women,” Bahati hit back.
He also made it clear that he will be on the ballot come August 9, 2022, requesting his supporters to ignore statements made by Sifuna.
Diana Marua’s response
Bahati’s wife Diana has been adamant to get involved into their beef until when her fan questioned her silence.
The fan commented on one of her videos, saying:
“Wewe cheza na mzee amechezwa. (You keep playing and your man has been played),” a fan joked.
Diana responded quickly to silence the commenter:
“Sasa nilie? Mathare [ni] ya mzee. Periodt!!!! Tupatane Youtube tufurahi.”
