Lulu Hassan Fires Back at Fan Warning Her Against Joining Politics: “Acha Ni Regret”

Renowned Citizen TV news anchor Lulu Hassan has responded boldly to a fan who warned her against venturing into politics, making it clear that she is not backing down despite the criticism surrounding her political ambitions.

The celebrated media personality recently found herself at the centre of online discussions after a photo of her wearing a yellow United Democratic Alliance (UDA) cap circulated on social media. The picture sparked mixed reactions, with some Kenyans questioning her reported political plans.

According to TUKO.co.ke, one fan took to the comment section of her video to caution her against joining politics, warning that she might eventually regret the decision.

“Wachana na politics uta regret,” the fan wrote, advising the journalist to stay away from politics.

However, Lulu responded with a short but confident statement that quickly attracted attention.

“Acha ni regret,” she replied, loosely translated as “Let me regret it.”

Her response suggested that she was not willing to let criticism from social media users dictate her decisions.

Lulu Hassan Linked to Mvita Parliamentary Seat

Lulu Hassan has recently been linked to a possible bid for the Mvita Constituency parliamentary seat in Mombasa County ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The veteran journalist has also been associated with the slogan “Mama Mvita,” which has fuelled speculation about her political ambitions.

Her reported association with UDA has further generated debate among Kenyans, particularly because she has spent years building her reputation as one of the country’s recognisable television journalists.

However, the details of her political plans and any formal candidacy should be distinguished from the speculation circulating online.

Kenyans Debate Her Possible Move Into Politics

Lulu’s exchange with the fan has highlighted the mixed opinions surrounding celebrities and media personalities who consider entering elective politics.

While some Kenyans believe public figures can use their popularity and experience to serve communities, others argue that political leadership requires more than fame and a strong public following.

For Lulu, the transition from delivering news to potentially seeking an elective position would represent a major change in her professional journey.

Her experience in broadcasting has made her a familiar face to many households, but a political campaign would require her to convince voters that she has the policies, leadership skills and development plans needed to represent them.

Her latest response has therefore added another chapter to the ongoing conversation about her possible political future.

As speculation continues ahead of the 2027 elections, Kenyans will be watching to see whether the veteran journalist formally announces her candidacy and outlines her vision for the people of Mvita.

What do you think? Should Lulu Hassan leave journalism and join politics, or should she continue building her career in the media industry? Share your views.
