Sassy Swahili TV journalist, a victim of mass firing at K24 in June, has announced her bid to vie for political office in the next general elections.<\/p>\n

Isabella Kituri, a mother of two and a widow who remarried, is headed the political direction.<\/p>\n

Up and close with fellow Swahili journalist, Mwanaisha Chidzuga, the former news editor at K24 will be vying in her home county, Taita Taveta.<\/p>\n

This is after trying her luck at politics, back in 2013 after exiting KTN, but stepped down to support her mom instead who was vying for the MCA seat in Sagana.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will join politics in Taita Taveta County, God-willing. As a woman rep or an MCA for ODM, chama cha baba<\/em>. But I also don\u2019t mind being a diplomat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Her announcement comes 16 years after losing her husband, Kituri, just 3 months after welcoming their bouncing baby boy.<\/p>\n

However, she clarified she might not drop her late husband\u2019s name because her current husband does not mind it, plus, her son doesn\u2019t want her to change it.<\/span><\/p>\n

New found love<\/h2>\n

The TV beauty tried the dating game 8 years after her loss, coincidentally meeting a man also working in a communication company, thereafter settling.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those searching, focus on your work and you will find someone while working. I prayed so hard for someone who will want me for me and not the TV girl. God gave me that person.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
