Citizen TV Journalist Mwanaisha Hamadi hints at running for Likoni MP seat in 2027
Citizen TV Kiswahili news Journalist Mwanahamisi Hamadi has given all indications that she will be foregoing the newsroom for politics.
Addressing a gathering in Likoni on Saturday, May 10, the veteran journalist hinted at going for the area MP seat in the 2027 general election.
She called out the current leadership for apparently neglecting the constituents and failure to address the challenges bedevilling the Likoni people.
Referring to her political debut as a ‘new dawn’, Hamadi suggested she would treat all equally regardless of their ethnic extractions.
According to her, the current leaders had made it a habit to misuse the lowly for political gain and then dumping them long after they get into office.
“In Likoni we are being seen like uncivilised people. Our friends from upcountry come to Likoni, but whenever they are here, they are misused during political campaigns. I have come, and you will have a voice. Don’t be misused again. They use you for voting and thereafter they dump you,” she said.

Hamisi further promised to include the non-natives in her agenda, stating that there would be no discrimination.
“They use you during campaigns but when it comes to development then you are discriminated against. A new dawn is here in Likoni, even those who have come. They are our fellows and we should not leave them out of development. Us those who are born and bred here, we will welcome those who come here from other areas. Many will come to sell their agenda, but let us be keen,” she said.
Should she make good her bid, she will be facing off with the current MP, Mishi Mboko.
She would not be the only media personality eyeing a political seat.
A few weeks back, Radio Citizen presenter joined the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), with whose ticket she will be debuting in politics.
