Kibra constituency seat fell vacant following the death of Ken Okoth in July 26th 2019. Several candidates, including Chris Odhiambo alias DJ Kriss Darlin, are jostling for the vacant seat.
DJ Kriss Darlin presented his candidature to ODM headquarters on Wednesday August 21st hours after the party invited potential aspirants to submit their papers so as to be considered for the party primary.
Speaking during an interview with eDaily, Kriss Darlin defended his candidature arguing that he is the best candidate to replace Ken Okoth.
“The people of Kibra need someone who knows them and knows what they actually need… and that’s exactly what I’m offering. I have been there with them, I was born there, I know what they go through on a daily basis,” said DJ Kriss Darlin.
The reggae spin master further stated that he would not quit his passion – deejaying even if he goes past ODM primary and ultimately wins the Kibra seat.
“I earn a decent living as a Reggae DJ, I’m very comfortable, I go on tours worldwide, and I will never stop doing it…but I can only reach so many people with that. I want to represent the people of Kibra, I want to be their voice and air out their issues on a bigger platform,” Kriss Darling said.
