Reggae master DJ Kriss Darlin's bid for an ODM ticket in the Kibra by-election has left many Kenyans stunned, particularly given his past criticism of Raila Odinga.
On August 25, 2019, Kriss Darlin was spotted kneeling before Raila Odinga, begging for a chance to run on the ODM ticket.
Netizens and citizens alike have taken to social media to express their shock and amusement at the turn of events.
I am a big fan of Chris Darling, but I am disappointed! Will he listen to the people of Kibra or Jakom if elected? — AbuSakeena (@FauzKhalid) August 25, 2019
Others have questioned Kriss Darlin's leadership abilities, with some wondering if he is truly committed to serving the people of Kibra or if he is simply trying to advance his own political career.
As the Kibra by-election approaches, it remains to be seen whether Kriss Darlin's bid will be successful or if he will be left in the dust.
