“We took him to Makadara, but he did not make it,” he went on to say.
Ally B is best known for her hit songs like as Maria, Mkufu Wangu, Bembea, Kadzo, Naona Raha, and Ziki La Nazi.
In 2017, Ally B, real name Ali Khamisi Mwaliguli, ran for a Member of the County Assembly position in Junda Ward in Kisauni, Mombasa county, on a Jubilee party ticket. He was defeated by Musumba Raphael Bwire of the ODM Party.
