Singer Bahati has explained why he refused to step down as an MP aspirant when Azimio leader Raila Odinga asked him to.

Speaking at Ukambani over the weekend, Bahati wondered why every time Kambas are asked to step down and they agree.

"I was offered a job by the party that lost elections (Azimio), but I refused," he said.

"Mike Sonko and Kalonzo were asked to step down in the past and also Bahati, so I did not, but I knew they would steal my votes."

Bahati was asked to drop his bid in exchange for a state appointment should the Azimio team formed the next government.

Bahati expressed confidence that one day a Kamba politician will lead the country.

"My prayer is that the Kamba people hold each other."
