On Sunday, July 17, musician-turned-politician Kevin Kioko alias Bahati declined Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party presidential candidate Raila Odinga’s plea to shelve his 2022 political ambitions.

The former Prime Minister had asked Bahati to drop out of the Mathare parliamentary race in the August 9, General Election in favor of incumbent Anthony Oluoch of the ODM party.

Raila Odinga promised to incorporate Bahati in his government that would be formed after the August 9, election.

Bahati however declined Raila’s job offer and insisted that he would be on the ballot saying Mathare residents have made up their minds about him being their next representative.

On Monday, July 18, the Mathare parliamentary aspirant on a Jubilee party ticket claimed that his life was in danger.

“I thought I should share this… I don’t feel safe anymore … my opponent has been sending a lot of threats … He sent me goons on Monday, July 19, at 1 am…They tore my Jubilee polo T-shirt,” Bahati said.

Bahati said he has forgiven all those who hired goons to mishandle him and insisted that he will not step down.

“Above all I forgive and I know that all am going through is because of a reason and because of the reason, I am not stepping down. I will still be on the ballot and I will fight for the people of Mathare till the end,” he added.
