Karen Nyamu, a Nairobi city politician, has expressed unhappiness with MC Jessy’s decision to leave the United Democratic Party (UDA) and run as an independent candidate for the Imenti South MP seat.
Nyamu took to social media to query why Jessy changed his mind after signing a deal with his opponent Mwiti Kathaara, who will run under the UDA banner.
“MC Jessy, my good friend, why have you accepted to be bought by the ‘dump him I pick him’
gang? You should have been tough at the negotiation table instead of striking a deal then
reneging on the same,” posted Nyamu.
Last week, MC Jessey broke his followers’ hearts after he announced that he was stepping down from the race in favor of Mwiti Kathaara, his opponent.
Both MC Jessy and Mwiti were vying for the seat under the UDA party ticket. However, the party had one slot and the Deputy President had to intervene to decide which candidate would carry the UDA’s flag in the race.
Unfortunately for MC Jessy, Mwiti was selected and he had to step down to join the party’s presidential campaign team.
The Deputy President’s announcement read, “Jessy (Jasper Muthomi) will join the presidential campaign team after postponing his parliamentary bid in favor of Mwiti Kathaara for the South Imenti Seat.”
While the decision was convenient for the party, many people, especially the people of Imenti South were not happy with it
People have been yearning to have youthful leaders in the coming election to get the change that current leaders in office haven’t been able to achieve.
They can relax as the comedian has announced that he is back to the race.
