The 43-year-old rapper conceded after his self-styled ‘’Birthday Party’’ collected just 60,000 votes out of an estimated 160 million people.
Apparently, the POTUS is still not known however much Biden is in the lead. But when it comes to who will not be the next US president, it clearly is Kanye West.
However, West’s political struggle is not yet over. Earlier this week, he took to his Twitter and wrote, ‘’KANYE 2024’’ signaling another bid to come four years from now.
Kanye West appeared on the ballot paper in only 12 states in his first presidential attempt, missing the filing deadline in most others. Most of his 60,000 votes were gathered from Tennessee where he got 10,188, a state that mostly favors Republican candidates.
After his presidential bid announcement in July, West said that his platform was modeled off Wakanda, a fictional kingdom from the Black Panther movie. When he was asked about the party name, he said, “Because when we win, it’s everybody’s birthday party.’’
Posts on Twitter by West urging followers to write his name on ballots incited a lot of criticism. Many were claiming that his actual intention was to syphon votes away from the legitimate candidates.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
