He made the announcement during a performance at Zetech University, where he asked the students if they would welcome him as a student. Bahati did not disclose which county he hopes to lead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ringCommonDetail ringBlockType-paragraph \">\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Nilianguka MP lakini juu nasimama governor nakuja hapa kufanya degree!

How many people want me to join Zetech?)\u201d\u00a0Bahati said with the crowd cheering.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:310\">Bahati previously ran for parliament in the 2022 elections but was unsuccessful. He finished third in the Mathare parliamentary contest with 8166 votes. After the election, Bahati dumped the Azimio la Umoja coalition for Kenya Kwanza, joining the United Democratic Alliance party led by President William Ruto.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:156\">To be eligible to run for governor in Kenya, a candidate must have a university degree. Bahati has hinted that he may go back to school to acquire a degree.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:287\">It is unclear whether Bahati is serious about his plans to run for governor. He has not yet released a detailed manifesto or outlined his plans for the position. However, his announcement has generated interest from Kenyans, who are curious to see if he will follow through on his plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenyan singer Kevin Kioko, popularly known as Bahati, has revealed his plans to run for governor in 2027.
