Shift to politics
The entry of the Natamani hit maker into elective politics has attracted attention, with notable public figures have increasingly joining the political scene in Kenya in recent years.
Activist and human rights defender Boniface Mwangi, on August 27, 2025, launched his 2027 presidential bid.
Speaking at Ufungamano House during the launch, Mwangi, who described himself as a father and a patriot, stated that his vision is driven by a desire to better the country as a long-serving patriot.
“I have chosen this day to announce that I will be running for the president of the Republic of Kenya,” he affirmed. “I am a husband, a father, and a patriot of Kenya, and like most of you, I love this country deeply.” Mwangi, who was born to a low-income mother, who later moved to Nairobi’s suburb of Ngara, said.
Mwangi emphasised the need to address governance and economic issues that have plagued the country.
“Friends, our country is broken and in danger of becoming a failed state. Nothing is working. A vast majority are struggling with the crippling high cost of living, and taxes are choking us to death. “How much longer are we going to tighten our belts?” he posed.
