Churchill show comedian MC Jessy is speaking up on what led him to step down from the race for the South Imenti parliamentary seat before making his return as an Independent candidate.
Jessy who was previously eying UDA party ticket says he was forced to respect the party leader William Ruto’s decision but he maintains that the decision was not out of his own free will.
“After negotiations, I did not necessarily agree but I had not much option because again you have to respect the leaders who are there. We talked to the DP and he persuaded me to drop my bid but later I had a sit down with him to brief him on what was happening on the ground,” the parliamentary hopeful said.
After further negotiations, Jessy eventually dropped his bid and Ruto made the announcement on his Twitter page.
“MC Jessy (Jasper Muthomi) will join the presidential campaign team after postponing his parliamentary bid in favour of Mwiti Kathaara for the South Imenti Seat,” the DP tweeted.
Jessy later decided to go as an independent candidate.
“Sent like an arrow from a mighty man’s hand. We keep going….. Bado tuko kwa race. Let’s do this South Imenti, on August 9, it is. Thank you my boss Deputy President Dr William Ruto for your counsel, My support for you remains Intact!!!!” he announced his return.
