Another Obama is getting into electoral politics, and no, it’s not Michelle Obama.
Malik
Obama,
the African half brother of the U.S. president, is planning to run for governor
of the Kenyan county of Siaya, reports Bloomberg News.
“Siaya
county is facing a lot of problems from poor infrastructure to poverty due to
bad leadership”, I will change this if elected”, Malik Obama said.
The 54-year-old will be running in a
primary this coming March. This year’s elections mark the nation’s first since
2007.
According to the Huffington Post,
“Fighting over the 2007 election results left hundreds of people dead and
displaced hundreds of thousands across the country.”
Siaya reportedly has a population
842,000 and a poverty rate of 35.3 percent.
Yes,
We Can…
