A couple of months ago, Erick Omondi talked of venturing into politics. The Kenyan comedian and actor born in Kisumu county now reveals plans to go for a parliamentary seat in Lang’ata constituency.
This comes days after the current Member of Parliament in Lang’ata Phelix Odiwour Jalang’o was kicked out of Orange Democratic Movement Party for being close to President William Ruto. ODM’s Secretary General Edwin Sifuna went ahead saying that Jalang’o won’t make it come the next general election 2027.
“I have told Jalang’o to stop listening to the counsel of others. If at all you will survive with a court order until 2027 you will not get the Langata MP seat again.” Sifuna said.
Today Erick Omondi has put plans to go for the seat on an ODM party ticket yet not confirmed.
“I have never spoken about Lang’ata because there are many constituencies in this country but apparently Lang’ata is key because of the people who convince me to go for it,” Erick said in one of the interview.
