Former Nairobi County Chief Officer for Environment Geoffrey Mosiria has expressed disappointment after attending musician Bahati and his wife Diana Marua’s wedding, only to discover that the event also doubled as a fundraiser for Bahati’s 2027 Mathare parliamentary ambitions.
In a reaction that has since attracted attention, Mosiria lamented that he had attended the ceremony expecting to celebrate the couple’s union but instead found himself at what appeared to be a political fundraising event.
“Ni uchungu sana, nilikuja harusi nikapata ni mchango,” Mosiria remarked, expressing his surprise at the unexpected turn of events.
The wedding, which brought together invited guests, celebrities and other prominent personalities, reportedly incorporated fundraising activities aimed at supporting Bahati’s bid to become the next Member of Parliament for Mathare Constituency in the 2027 General Election.
Bahati has previously expressed interest in joining elective politics, with his eyes set on representing Mathare residents in Parliament.
The development has sparked conversations about the intersection of celebrity events and political ambitions, particularly as politicians and aspiring leaders begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 elections.
Mosiria’s reaction has added another layer of public attention to the high-profile wedding, which has generated considerable discussion beyond the couple’s marriage.
