Published on November 12, 2019, Andrew Kibe, a popular radio host, shared his experience in the 2013 Langatta Mp seat election under Mudavadi's party.
He recalled that his friends, who he now describes as 'fake,' pushed him into the political game with high expectations from his family and friends, which ultimately led to his loss.
During a discussion on the morning Kiss with Kamene and Kibe, the topic of the just-concluded KIbra election came up, highlighting the strong support contestants received from their party leaders.
Reflecting on his past experience, Kibe emphasized that he had no support during his campaign, including no money to fuel his Subaru. He revealed that a friend, Githae, gave him the most significant amount of money, KSh 50,000, for his campaign.
Andrew Kibe lost the political seat to Joash Olum in the 2012 elections, but he considers it a valuable lesson. He has since expressed his desire to avoid fake friends in his life, and now that he is a prominent figure, they are slowly reappearing, but he is content without them.
