November 5, 2019, marked a significant day for gospel music fans as Daddy Owen, known for his hit song 'Mbona', expressed his desire to see his brother Rufftone, alias Rufftone, join politics.
Speaking to Word is on Friday, Owen revealed that Rufftone has been affiliated with politics for a while, having helped Jubilee win the 2013 and 2017 elections.
According to Owen, Rufftone has been hesitant to join politics, preferring to watch from the sidelines. However, Owen believes that Rufftone has the potential to make a significant impact in the political arena.
Owen went on to suggest that Rufftone should vie for the Kakamega Senate seat in 2022, citing Jaguar's success in the same position as an example.
When asked about his views on Rufftone's potential entry into politics, Owen emphasized that joining politics would not dilute Rufftone's Christian values in any way.
He argued that a sober leader can come from any field, and that Rufftone's background as a musician would not hinder his ability to lead effectively.
However, Rufftone downplayed suggestions that he would run for Senate, stating that simply hanging out with politicians does not mean he wants to join politics.
He emphasized his loyalty to his friends and his commitment to supporting their visions, even if it means going against the notion that he should join politics.
Despite the speculation surrounding his potential entry into politics, Rufftone is currently focused on working on new music, with a new jam in the works.
