Jamaican music icon Vybz Kartel has recently sparked political interest by hinting at a possible run for Parliament in the upcoming election. In a candid statement, Kartel revealed that he has a vision and life experiences that he believes others may never fully comprehend.
Vybz Kartel expressed a deep desire to be in a position where he can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who have supported him throughout his turbulent journey.
After spending 13 years in prison for a murder conviction, Kartel was recently acquitted and released alongside his co-accused.
His time behind bars has taken a toll on his health, evident in his altered appearance due to Graves’ disease, which has caused noticeable swelling in his face and neck.
Despite these challenges, Kartel has reemerged with remarkable energy. On the very night of his release, he returned to the party scene and has since embarked on a relentless media tour. The singer also announced plans to return to the stage, teasing his first post-incarceration concert scheduled for December, though the exact date remains undisclosed.
“The World Boss” has urged his fans to prepare for the announcement of his concert. However, the most surprising revelation came when Kartel mentioned his potential political aspirations.
“I know it is out of the blue, but I am thinking about running for Member of Parliament in the next elections,” he stated. “I have seen a lot; I now want to be in a position where I can change the lives of my people.” This unexpected political ambition has left fans and observers intrigued and curious about what the future holds for the music star.
