His half brother may be the most powerful man in the world but
unfortunately Malik Obama failed miserably to win a gubernatorial seat
in Kenya's recently concluded polls....despite his
very interesting Campaigning slogan which was; "Obama here, Obama there".
54-year-old Obama, who shares a father with United States President
Barack Obama, won just 2,792 votes...some 140,000 behind the final
winner in his bid to claim the seat for his home area in western Kenya.
Malik Obama, who describes himself as an economist and a financial
analyst, told AFP on the campaign trail that he would use his contacts
with Washington to bring development to the rural backwater he hoped to govern.
"Why would my people settle for a local connection when they have a direct line to the White House," he said.
