Musician Kevin Bahati Kioko has lost his Mathare MP bid.
In the fiercely contested campaign, the ‘Mama’ hitmaker running on a Jubilee Party ticket came in third. Anthony Oluoch of the ODM, the current MP, and Billian Ojiwa of the UDA finished first and second, respectively.
Oluoch won with 28,098 votes, retaining his seat; Ojiwa came in second with 16,912 votes while Bahati garnered 8,166 votes.
Bahati had hours before alleged that the tallying process had many irregularities. Posting on his social media, Bahati said, “Dear I.E.B.C We Need Answers!!! Everything is at Stand Still at St. Teresa’s Tallying Centre and We can Sense Rigging Plans… Please tell us what’s Happening!!!”
During the campaign season, Bahati’s love-hate relationship with the ODM leaders played out in the media.
