KRG the Don starts popularising his Nairobi senatorial bid
By Paulette Mboga, November 24, 2025KRG the Don has officially reaffirmed his intention to run for Nairobi Senator in the 2027 General Elections.
Speaking on Instagram on Monday, November 24, 2025, he urged Nairobi residents to register as voters, saying their votes will determine the future of the city. KRG said that he understands the struggles of Nairobians and believes it is time for change in leadership.
KRG said, “Take some time off your busy schedule and register as a voter kwa sababu hio kura yako ndio itachange mambo yetu sote in 2027 General elections. Wakazi wa Nairobi, mbele yenu ni kijana wenu, round hii nimekuja kuwaambia wakazi wa Nairobi, vijana, akina mama wa Nairobi. Mjitokeze kwa wingi mwende mkate kura.” He stressed the importance of active participation from young people and women in shaping Nairobi’s future.
KRG promises to address the struggles of Nairobians
He spoke about the challenges residents have faced under past leadership, claiming that previous leaders have neglected the needs of the people. KRG said, “Najua mmeteseka sana hii Nairobi yetu kwa viongozi ambao hawatupendi sisi. Wanapenda tu mambo yao. Hawajali sisi tunapitia shida gani kama wakaaji wa Nairobi. Hawaelewi shida zetu kwa sababau sio watu wa hapa, ni watu walitoka sijui hapa. Tumechoka na hiyo maneno.”
He said this disconnect has caused suffering for many residents, and he believes someone who truly understands local issues is needed to lead effectively.
KRG positioned himself as a candidate who is familiar with Nairobi’s problems and ready to work alongside residents to bring meaningful solutions. He added, “Mimi kama kijana wenu niko tayari kuwatumikia pamoja na nyinyi tushikane. Tunajua shida za Nairobi. Na shida za watu wa Nairobi haziwezi tatuliwa na watu ambao hawakai huku. Tuchange Nairobi yetu.” His campaign message focuses on engagement, unity, and addressing local issues that have been ignored by leaders he described as outsiders.
KRG’s announcement comes early, giving him time to mobilise supporters and outline his plans for the city. His promise to tackle the problems of Nairobi and represent residents who feel neglected is central to his campaign.
The musician officially announced his bid in an event attended by some political leaders, including Siaya Governor James Orengo, among others.
