Gospel singer Smith Mwatia, alias Rufftone has for the first time opened up about a past almost fatal fall out with his brother Owen Mwatia popularly known as Daddy Owen. According to Rufftone, politics almost got him killed by his own brother. <\/p>\n

Describing vividly the events of a fateful day back in 2007, Rufftone recalled how his brother charged at him with a machete after disagreeing over politics. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2007 I remember very boldly my blood brother Daddy Owen was for ODM and I was for PNU and when we disagreed in the morning,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

According to him, Daddy Owen regrouped with a number of his friends after the argument and started looking for him, targeting him with machetes. <\/p>\n

\u201cDaddy Owen had to run out to the streets with his friends, na mapanga <\/em>targeting me,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

Rufftone, who is a Nairobi senatorial aspirant in the upcoming general election, disclosed that this 2007 incident played a major role in his decision to join politics through a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket. <\/p>\n

Born and raised in Eastlands, Rufftone added that he believes that politics is about ideologies and if people differ, they do not have to engage in fistfights. He is a believer in agreeing to disagree as far as politics is concerned. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a movement of hooliganism\u2026I\u2019m born in this country and I\u2019ve been in Eastlands. I tend to think politics is about ideologies, and if we differ politically, you don\u2019t have to manifest it by harming me verbally or physically,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Rufftone announced his entry into the Nairobi senatorial race in November last year and he joins a number of musicians and entertainers who want to try their luck in politics. <\/p>\n

Francis Amisi aka Frasha is a household name in the entertainment industry and was part of Kenyan hip-hop group P-Unit which also comprised of Gabu and Bon-Eye. <\/p>\n

Fast-forward to 2022, he is eyeing the MCA seat in Athi River and he says he has huge plans to transform his ward. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Davidson Ngibuini or DNG as he is popularly known, has set his sights on becoming the next Woodley\/Kenyatta Golf Course MCA. <\/p>\n

Speaking during an interview on Spice FM, DNG, who identifies with the United Democratic Alliance party (UDA), outlined the plans he has for the residents of his ward but also explained why he is no longer a fan of President Uhuru Kenyatta. <\/p>\n

He was part of the team of young people who campaigned for Uhuru in 2013 but is now a critic of the President\u2019s leadership. <\/p>\n

Comedian Jasper Muthomi aka MC Jessy last week officially joined the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) as he seeks the South Imenti parliamentary seat. <\/p>\n

Jessy stated that he arrived at the decision after holding various consultative meetings with the people of South Imenti and he described UDA as the \u2018winning team\u2019. <\/p>\n
