“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,” tweeted the DP.
The comedian declared in January that he had formally joined the United Democratic Alliance, led by DP William Ruto. This was following extensive consultations.
MC Jessy said the UDA flagbearer called and invited him to the 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 said.

He went on to say that he could not help but join UDA because it is where the electorate wanted him.
“The groundwork that has been done has finally landed on the side of the winning team. When I got the call from the chief Hustler Inviting me, I had to heed my People’s call and his call to join the winning Team. And may the work of redefining South Imenti Now begin,” he added.
