Sadaf Deen, The Model Who Wants to Join Kenyan Politics

At only 20 years, Sadaf Deen caused a stir when she announced that she would contest for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party ticket for the Mombasa County Woman Representative seat.

She sparked a stir, especially on social media, where she made heads turn due to her stunning beauty, with many, expressing their support for her candidature.

Despite mounting a formidable campaign, she eventually lost the ODM ticket to Asha Mohamed Hussein in an election that she believed was flawed. 

Despite the loss, Deen vowed to move forward with her political aspirations. Her statement read: "I have written my story.I might not have gotten the chance to serve my people in the capacity of Mombasa Women Representative, but all is not lost. I will soon advise on the next step."

Before joining politics, her outstanding beauty earned her a place as a top model based in Mombasa where she has graced the runway several times winning awards and fame.

In an interview with Pulse magazine, the charming queen admitted that she had received overwhelming support from many male supporters.

At only 20, she could make history by being the youngest elected politician in Kenya's history if she still runs in the August 8 General Election.

Currently, Buuri Member of Parliament Boniface Kinoti Gatobu, who was elected at 26 years of age, is the youngest parliamentarian.
