Kenya’s Communist Party goes viral after rappers make campaign video

"Capitalism has 24 hours to respond," wrote one person on Twitter.

When you think about communism and music what springs to mind?

Maybe this one?

Well, the Kenyan Communist Party will be running in the upcoming elections with a modernised anthem.

They decided to use some music to promote their push for votes and, we believe, created the first communist rap tune in doing so.

The video, shared on Twitter, features Kenyan rapper @davinkayostwo who raps about the benefits of voting for the communist party candidate, Booker Nger Omole.

According to social media the lyrics go: “‘The others lied a lot, never did their jobs, we eat bones while they eat the meat, they’re potbellied cause of the money they robbed us’ ‘The youth are supporting Booker, he understands our issues, 22 we’ll vote him, he can’t run from our problems, don’t worry we’ll have jobs…'”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
