On September 10, 2019, the Kibra parliamentary seat election took a dramatic turn as Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka endorsed rapper Jackson Makini, popularly known as Prezzo, for the seat.
Prezzo, known for his extravagant lifestyle, had been warming up to the seat, according to his social media pages. His endorsement by Kalonzo marked a significant development in the election, which had already seen ODM and Jubilee parties present their candidates.
As the election heats up, it's becoming clear that Kibra is not just a battleground for political giants but also a platform for celebrities to flex their muscles and measure their popularity.
Prezzo's endorsement by Kalonzo has added an interesting dimension to the contest, which is expected to be a closely fought election.
