Flamboyant Kenyan rapper Jackson Ngechu Makini alias CMB Prezzo will not be contesting for the Kibra parliamentary by-election slated for November 7, 2019.
This is according to a statement by the Wiper Democratic Movement party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Kalonzo, on Facebook, clarified that CMB Prezzo will be on the ballot for the seat come 2022 and not as earlier interpreted from a tweet sent out by the party at around 3 pm.
“Today at Wiper Democratic Movement Headquarters in Karen I received Jackson Ngechu Makini aka CMB Prezzo who joined the Wiper Movement officially. Prezzo intends to vie in Kibra Constituency in the 2022 General Elections,” read a post from Musyoka.
The announcement follows inroads by the self-styled king of bling into the constituency that extend as far back as 2018, according to posts on his Instagram page.

The first indicator that he had hammered his gauntlet ready for the hard-knuckled fight for Kibra supremacy was on Sunday, September 8, when he joined the former vice president in a fundraiser in Nairobi.
“Earlier today with former Vice-President of Kenya Kalonzo Musyoka at the railway club grounds in Nairobi during the Sunday service and a fundraiser for the purchase of a sanctuary of ATG Ministries along Mombasa Road,” shared Prezzo a day ago.
Here is the video of Prezzo on Sunday with Kalonzo Musyoka.
