On Tuesday afternoon, Wiper party under the leadership of Kalonzo Musyoka got many Kenyans offside after unexpectedly unveiling its candidate for the Kibra by-elections.
The party announced the controversial Kenyan rapper Jackson Makini alias CMB Prezzo, as its flagbearer in a bid to succeed the late Ken Okoth in Kibra.
He was unveiled by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka at their Lavington headquarters.
The rapper joins an already crowded race and will face off against retired international footballer McDonald Mariga (Jubilee) former Raila Odinga strategist Eliud Owalo of ANC and Ken Okoth’s brother Imran Bernard Okoth of ODM.

His candidature, however, got many Kenyans talking with a larger section of the audience rubbishing his candidature with humorous and hilarious comments. Here are the comments:

Adede Aded Wiper withdraw their candidate (Prezzo) for Kibra race after ODM online Soldiers discredit him as unworthy opponent.
Let’s wait Hon Kalonzo anaweza penya Kati Kati ya Chris Darlin and Prezzo atoke na OCTOPIZZO
As if Mariga isn’t enough now we get CMB Prezzo too? This is like pissing on Ken Okoth’s legacy. Hii ni madaharau kwa watu wa Kibra.

I have nothing against musicians and comedians running for office….
What I have a problem with is a "musician" using politics as a launchpad for a career in comedy.

So, have been asking myself why people refer to kalonzo Musyoka as a watermelon and not a Thorn melon, phoooo watermelon no watermelon tu, at prezo ama prezzo 
CMB for kibra mp
Entry of Prezzo into the Kibra race pushes the competition into the realms of comedy. This may however favour the ODM candidate as he and Mariga brings showbiz while Imran Okoth comes with experience of leadership.
