Comedian Jasper Muthomi, popularly known as MC Jessy, has announced that he will vie for the South Imenti MP seat in the August 9th election as an Independent Candidate.

MC Jessy who previously sought to vie for the seat under the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party took to his social media on Monday, 18th April and declared that he is still in the race to represent South Imenti residents in the National Assembly.

“Sent like an arrow from a mighty man’s hand. We keep going….. Bado Tuko kwa race. Let’s do this South Imenti, August 9 it is,” MC Jessy said.

He however noted that he would still support DP Ruto for his quest to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“Thank you my boss HE the Deputy President Dr William Ruto for your counsel. My support for you remains Intact,” he stated.

His announcement comes days after DP Ruto announced that MC Jessy had dropped out of the race in favour of Mwiti Kathaara.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, 13th April DP Ruto announced that the Churchill Show comedian will take up a role in his presidential campaign team.

“MC Jessy (Jasper Muthomi) will join the presidential campaign team after postponing his parliamentary bid in favor of Mwiti Kathaara for the South Imenti Seat,” the DP tweeted.

In January, the comedian confirmed that he had officially joined DP William Ruto-led party after wider consultations.

MC Jessy said the DP called him and invited him to join the UDA party.

“It’s now clear where the vision is heading. After many days of consultative meetings with my South Imenti people, I have officially been invited to join UDA,” he stated.
