1 FM Owner & Henry Kosgey’s Son Joins Politics

Alexander Kimutai Kigen Kosgey or Alex Kosgey as he’s popularly known, began his political journey successfully last week by clinching the Emgwen Parliamentary ticket in the URP nominations. Alex is the owner of OneFM (97.1) and its sister station, Hits FM (91.5).

He is also the son to ODM’s chairman Henry Kosgey. And one thing you can’t fail to notice is that he’s vying for the political seat on a URP ticket, a political party that’s part of the coalition that is in direct competition with his father’s party. All the same, Alex won the URP nominations for the Emgwen parliamentary seat by beating six contenders.

 OneFM has experienced massive growth since its inception 2 years ago and brags for being Nairobi’s premier all local and urban radio station. Alex now joins the list of radio station owners who are also politicians.
