Popular Tanzanian singer Aslay Isihaka alias Aslay has recorded a campaign song promoting Mvita MP AbdulSwamad Shariff Nassir’s bid for the Mombasa County Gubernatorial seat ahead of the 2022 General Election.

In the song dubbed “Tubebe Shariff  Nassir” recently released, the 26-years old artist has heaped praise of the legislator’s track record saying, he is the guy to beat in the hotly contested seat.

“He(Nassir) has been doing great things in Mombasa. We stay in Tanzania but we see the amazing work he has done. May the almighty bless him, to get this seat,” said Aslay in a short video seen by OmmyDallah.

He added: “His dad was a good man, and Nassir’s reputation precedes his dad’s”.

On Monday, Aslay met Nassir at his office in Mombasa where they discussed several issues among them promoting local talents.

With less than eight months to Kenya's general election, temperatures are rising and campaigns are in full gear as politicians use every means possible to gain popularity to wrap up numbers.

One of the popular undying campaign strategies is to have celebrated musicians compose a campaign song promoting a politician’s manifesto. 

Nassir laid bare his intention to vie for the Mombasa County top seat in the forthcoming polls slated for August 9, 2022.

The law-maker is firstly expected to jostle for the ODM ticket against his main rival Suleiman Shahbal and Mombasa Deputy Governor Dr. William Kingi.

Beyond party nominations, Nassir will face former Mombasa senator Omar Hassan Sarai who will contest the governor’s seat on a UDA ticket and Kisauni MP Ali Mbogo who will run on a Wiper Ticket.
