Havi who is still serving as the 49th president of LSK before resigning has announced that he will be vying for the Westlands parliamentary seat in the coming general elections.
Through a tweet, Havi said that what he has not achieved as LSK’s president will be achieved when he is finally elected as a Member of Parliament.

He further mentioned some of LSK’s achievements under his leadership.
“With over 20 Judgments against Government, advisory for dissolution of Parliament and stop of BBI we have done enough.” he said.
