Boniface Mwangi, an award winning photojournalist and a social-political activist, has today (12th August 2017) said that he will pull down all his campaign posters. Mr Boniface who was in a race for the Starehe Constituency MP, conceded defeat after Charles Njagua aka Jaguar, a popular Kenyan musician, took a commanding lead and won the race.
“Our campaign proved that our country is yearning for change and our people are ready for a different kind of politics,” said Mwangi in a concession message posted on Facebook early Wednesday. “It gives me hope that in 2022, matters of tribe and political party allegiance will no longer be a big deal, as long as you run on issues.The people of Starehe have spoken and I respect their decision,” said Mwangi.
