Maina Kageni has vowed to throw his support behind Jalang’o real name Felix Odiwuor ahead of the 2022 general elections.
Jalang’o has stated his ambitions of vying for the Lang’ata Constituency in 2022, something that he’s more than willing to see come to fruition.
Hosting the Maina and King’ati host in his must-see show on YouTube, Maina Kageni vowed to play the role that Oprah Winfrey played for Barack Obama back in 2008 where she supported the 44th President of the United States the way she could.
Maina Kageni’s condition of supporting Jalang’o 100% is if he vies as an independent candidate after which he will finance him the way he knows how.
“Oprah pulled her strings and made sure he spoke at that democratic convention which moved people.
She brought in people she knows to endorse him. His dream began with Oprah,” Maina said in part.
“I will give you money and I will be at your rallies because I am not at the beck and call of some party leader,” Maina Kageni went further.
Kageni cautioned Jalang’o into venturing into politics 100% citing Nyali MP Moha Jicho Pevu, and Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie as examples.

Maina warned Jalang’o not to join politics only to be restricted by the upper echelon party leaders when it boils down to expressing his thoughts, opinion thus blocking his freedom to express himself.
“If you go into Jubilee or ODM, your thinking must conform with the thinking of the people at the top. Anything outside that and you’re branded a rebel, so suddenly the Jalang’o we know getting into politics won’t be the Jalang’o we see.
Look at Moha, we were hiring that fiery guy to go make noise in Parliament to advocate for change on certain things across parties for the good of the country then….
Look at our friend KJ[John Kiarie] who I love more than life, but he had to conform because that is how politics in Kenya works which is so sad,” the legendary radio presenter added.
Just like Jalang’o, other media personalities in the country like Robert Alai, Alex Mwakideu and others have expressed their intention of vying in the upcoming general elections slotted to be held in August next year.
Mwakideu is bent on becoming the next Member of Parliament for Wundanyi Constituency while Alai will be vying for the Nyando Constituency parliamentary seat.
