Mwangi’s announcement comes barely a month after being involved in an online burst with DP William Ruto over the death of controversial businessman Jacob Juma.

However, Mwangi, who has been critical of both the opposition and government, did not reveal his party of choice.

“I will vie for Mathare constituency Member of Parliament seat. I intend to speak courage fluently and I am counting on your vote,” read his Facebook post on Saturday.

“It will not be easy but I also count on your financial support to make my dreams a reality. Together we can do it,” said the outspoken activist.
