Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) nominated former Sol Generation artist Crystal Asige to the Senate on Wednesday.
In a nomination list published by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) the singer has been put forward to represent persons living with disability.
Asige, who is a former member of the Sol Generation, has been nominated to the senate alongside her male counterpart Kakiri Ochieng.
Crystal rose to fame as the first female on the premium label, sol Generation.
She later fell out with Sauti Sol back in 2019 under unclear circumstances.
“I wasn’t gonna sit there and just take what’s being given. As much as I’m a ‘disabled’ artiste, I work hard, and I earn everything. I manifest everything,” Asige said in a previous interview with Standard.
The visually impaired artist has been vocal about the challenges of people living with disabilities and expresses her artistic life through her music.
