Musician Ben Githae, who sang a campaign song for Uhuru and Ruto in 2017 has endorsed Raila Odinga’s presidency in the 2022 General Election.

During a meeting with ODM delegates at the coast on Tuesday, November 16, Ben Githae said that the Mt Kenya region is fully behind Raila Odinga.

The singer went ahead to tease attendants with a chorus of a song he has composed for Raila Odinga’s campaign.

Musician Ben Githae, who sang a campaign song for Uhuru and Ruto in 2017 has endorsed Raila Odinga’s presidency in the 2022 General Election.

“I am Ben Githae, who sang ‘Tano Tena’ and ‘Wembe ni Ule Ule’. Now I have changed the song, we are saying; ‘Ndani Ndani Ndani to the State House, Mlima wote, Baba Tosha. If at the Mountain we are saying ‘Baba Tosha’ what are you saying?” Ben Githae posed.

The singer has been a staunch supporter of Uhuru Kenyatta, and this extended to Raila Odinga after the 2018 handshake.

Githae describes Uhuru Kenyatta as a personal friend, who has stood with him and kept in touch.

“You can text him and he responds. There is no time I have ever needed him that he has not been there for me. The other day I lost my mother and he called me to give his condolences and also directed me to someone for support,

“Sometimes, when he wants me to go and fulfill a mission, he calls me and I have no objection. That is how tight I am with him,” Githae said.

For this reason, Githae vowed to sing a campaign for anyone who President Uhuru endorses as his successor in 2022.

The singer has been under criticizing for supporting Uhuru Kenyatta but has always maintained that Uhuru is a good leader for Kenya.

“Even if people call you a witch and expect me to join you and claim you are a witch and as a friend, you have never bewitched me if they say you are a thief and I have never seen you stealing, I won’t believe them and so I will make my personal choices depending on what I believe and not what people think,” he said.
