Kenyan blogger Xtian Dela has sparked speculation about his future in politics after expressing his frustration with the negativity he has faced online and offline.
On his social media platforms, Dela shared his disappointment with those who believe his political ambitions are driven by material gain.
When seeking the opinions of his fans, many advised him that 'politics is not for the fainthearted', while others encouraged him to quit and seek employment in the government.
This comes months after Dela declared his interest in vying for the MP for Westlands in Nairobi.
Recently, Dela shocked his fans by unveiling his girlfriend, video vixen Fatmah Banj's, baby bump, but the couple has not revealed when they will welcome their first child.
Comedian and radio presenter Jalang'o, who has announced his candidacy for the Langata parliamentary seat in the 2022 elections, has already joined the ODM party.
The Media Council of Kenya has advised journalists who wish to vie for a seat to resign to avoid conflict of interest.
