Octopizzo Urges Kibra Residents To Register To Vote, Hints At Political Run

Kenyan hip-hop star and philanthropist Henry Ohanga, famously known as Octopizzo, is fueling speculation about his entry into politics after launching a strong appeal to Kibra residents to register as voters for the 2027 General Election.

In a message posted on his X account on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, the rapper positioned voter registration not just as a civic duty, but as a critical tool for community empowerment and meaningful governance.

The Call for “Poverty-Conscious Leadership”

Octopizzo, whose foundation is active in the community, asserted that genuine change begins at the ballot box. He framed the upcoming election as an opportunity for neglected communities like Kibra to finally choose leaders who reflect their needs.

“TUCHUKUENI KURA BANA JO,” he wrote. “Real change starts with us. Registration isn’t just paperwork; it’s power. It’s how communities that have been overlooked finally speak for themselves and shape the future they deserve.”

The hip-hop star outlined a clear philosophy for leadership, focusing on:

• Integrity and Honesty
• Poverty-Conscious Service
• Impact over empty rhetoric

Octopizzo declared that the time for “theory is over,” calling for “community-driven leadership and real solutions.” By stressing that the Kibra constituency deserves representation built on “integrity and impact,” the rapper seems to be strategically positioning himself as a new, action-oriented voice for the people.

His final rallying cry was clear: “Your vote is your voice. Register. Show up. Participate.” The question now is whether the philanthropist will move from rallying the vote to actually seeking it.
