Nyota urged into Taita politics

After relocating from Mombasa to her new base in Voi last year, celebrated singer Nyota Ndogo is said to be resisting pressure from Taita residents who want her to go into active politics. This weekend the singer will be joining the Social Democratic Party (SDP) leaders among them Mwandawiro Mghanga in a meet-the-people tour alongside local singing sensation, Professor Nasha. Speaking to Pulse on Wednesday, Nyota said she appreciated and respected the opinions from her fans.

“I have never thought of joining politics. I will be joining the said SDP rallies as an artiste, not a politician. At least, that is how I am looking at this for now,” she said.
