Gospel musician Roy Smith Mwatia alias Rufftone, has joined Deputy President William Ruto’s party – United Democratic Party (UDA), as he hopes to vie for Nairobi’s senatorial seat.
Rufftone has been on several campaign trails with his party leader DP Ruto, in bid to popularize himself over other aspirants.
Rufftone first declared interest in the Nairobi senatorial seat while back in November 2021, while in an interview with Comedian Mwalimu Churchill.
“Hii nime-disclose hapa for the first time, you are looking at the new incoming Nairobi Senator, Mr Roy Smith Mwatia.
“I will be vying in 2022,” Rufftone stated at the time.
Rufftone joined a long list of popular politicians looking to replace Nairobi Senator Jonshon Sakaja, among them ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, Karen Nyamu and Maina Kamanda.
