Churchill Show comedian MC Jessy whose real name is Jasper Muthomi has conceded defeat after losing to Dr Shadrack Mwiti of Jubilee party in his bid to become the next Member of Parliament of South Imenti.
Jessy who was vying as an independent candidate appreciated his supporters for putting up a spirited fight in his first stab at politics.
"To the People of South Imenti Constituency, I Sincerely Thank you so much for the time we have interacted during our campaign time. It has been a great journey. A journey of amazing political adventure. A journey of daring hearts. We will continue to engage as we look forward to Next time. God willing," Jessy wrote on social media.
Adding;
"I personally want to congratulate my worthy competitor Dr Shadrack as he prepares to be the new Mp for South Imenti. To my supporters take heart ni Siasa tu, let’s keep moving South Imenti as one Great Community. God bless you all."
Jessy initially wanted to vie for the seat on UDA party ticket but his party leader William Ruto recommended he drops out of the race for UDA's Mwiti Kathaara and take up a role in his presidential campaigns.
"MC Jessy (Jasper Muthomi) will join the presidential campaign team after postponing his parliamentary bid in favour of Mwiti Kathaara for the South Imenti Seat," the DP tweeted.
Jessy, however, announced a u-turn noting that he was still in the race.
"Sent like an arrow from a mighty man’s hand. We keep going….. Bado tuko kwa race. Let’s do this South Imenti, on August 9, it is. Thank you my boss Deputy President Dr William Ruto for your counsel, My support for you remains Intact!!!!" he wrote then.
