“I Don’t Know how to Celebrate This… I Don’t Know If I should Cry or Pray… This is a Dream Come True not Only to Me as Bahati; But to the Youth & my People of Mathare Who for só Long Have Been Praying for an MP Made in Mathare. For Sure it’s not been Easy Competing Against all those Veteran Politicians and I Would Like to Say Thank You for Choosing me as the Most Popular Candidate in Mathare!” he said.
Bahati also expressed gratitude to his party leader as well as the Azimio la umoja presidential candidate for believing in him and also his friends for offering him support.
“Secondly; I want to Personally Thank my Party Leader H.E The President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta for Giving me an Opportunity to Vie on a Jubilee Ticket and Baba The 5th H.E Raila Amolo Odinga for believing in me as the Official Azimio Candidate for Mathare MP!!!
“Lastly to You My Friends who have been Supporting the Vision Since Day 1… I Still Need Your Support even More in this Journey as We Wait to Be Voted in on 9th August ? IT’S A NEW DAWN FOR MY PEOPLE; IT’S TIME FOR A NEW MATHARE!!! FOREVER TO GOD BE THE GLORY ,” Bahati said.
