Over the past two years, I have had the chance to shoot in political events and these political leaders grace this blog post today.
There is one who will take first position. This is because he is the one who bought my camera, The Nikon D3300. I remember going to his office with a constituency website project proposal. He promised to buy me a laptop and a camera to help me with the project. 2 years later, after life really hit me hard, I just texted him and to my amazement, he sent me money to get a camera, that’s when I got the Nikon D3300 and have been using it since.
That’s none other than my area MP (Kajiado South). If it were not for him, I would not have become a photographer. I thank him for believing in my dream.

Joseph Ole Lenku
How could I miss a photo of my current governor in my portfolio? Still at Oloosirkon, while seeking to be elected, I was honored by his words at the burial. While every other leader was talking about politics, he said that he would not speak politics because that was not the place for it.

I love political events because they are so fun. Sometimes you even forget to shoot because of how hilarious these people are.
What about a special bonus? One that was published on Daily Nation in a feature?
