Bahati cries foul after Jubilee Party recalls his nomination certificate
Mathare Member of Parliament (MP) aspirant Kevin Kioko, alias Bahati broke down after the Jubilee Party recalled the nomination certificate issued to him.
While addressing the media at a Nairobi hotel, Bahati claimed that the party had recalled the certificate he had been given even after winning in all the opinion polls and was forced to step down in favour of the sitting MP Anthony Oluoch of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
“I was told to step down after receiving the nomination certificate,” he said.
The aspirant stated that he is a staunch supporter of President Uhuru Kenyatta and Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga but he feels cheated.
“I was competing against four others and I followed the process. I did everything as per the Constitution,” he said.
“I did not come to politics because I wanted a job. I already had one but the people of Mathare want people that can understand their problem, someone that comes from them.” He added.
Additionally, he pleaded with the ODM leader to allow him to serve as the people’s voice, arguing that the Mathare people continue to live in substandard conditions.
