Millicent Clinches TNA County Rep Ticket

A few media personalities made a dip into politics this election season. One of them was Millicent Mugadi, former Kenyan representative at the Big Brother Africa Amplified reality TV show.

The actress got the nomination as a County Representative for Ziwani Ward on a TNA ticket.  

 

"I have realised politics is not acting or writing a script, it's a serious game, and I think I have learnt a lot in my first experience. I have so much respect for all the women politicians in Kenya now," she told actors.co.ke.

As March 4 approaches and Ms. Mugadi prepares to take on the ODM and Wiper rep, she adds, "Politics is no joke. It is one of the most difficult things I have ever done."

Millicent, The Reality TV Star Turned Politician Fears For Her Life

Former Big Brother Africa Amplified housemate, Millicent Mugadi who is vying for a political seat in Ziwani as a county representative has revealed that she fears for her life.

Millicent said that over the past few weeks she has noticed a number of men who have been trailing her and also witnessed the same men disrupt her community meetings with Ziwani constituents.

"I would like to appeal to political parties to provide security for their candidates. Some of my rival contestants have been sending people to my meetings to heckle and disrupt the meeting. They have also removed and torn up my posters. All this is done to intimidate me but I will not give up," Millicent said.

She added, "As the strongest candidate on ground and a woman I have a right to campaign freely my constitution allows. It's important for security to be put up to protect strong women like me on ground."

Millicent who grew up in Ziwani estate, Nairobi said she is passionate about preserving the culture of the area and has on several occasions spoken out about the land grabbing that is rampant in the area.
