Kanye West on the Mississippi ballot

Inclined voters in Mississippi can tick the box at Kanye West in the November US presidential election. The rapper was approved as a candidate in the southern state and is therefore on the ballot paper, the responsible authorities said on Tuesday. To qualify, West had to pay a $ 2,500 fee and produce at least 1,000 signatures from Mississippi voters. As an independent candidate, the musician will be on the ballot papers in several US states, such as Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Tennessee, Utah and Oklahoma. However, several states had not approved it because it did not meet the requirements.

Top candidate of the “Birthday Party”

West surprised the world in July when he announced his application for the highest office in the state. He announced that he was running as the top candidate for the “Birthday Party”. The Democrats suspect that the Republicans are deliberately pushing West’s application into several states contested between the major parties in order to steal votes from black voters from the Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Others suspect a publicity stunt behind West’s campaign to promote a new album.

West was once considered a staunch fan of President Donald Trump, but said he broke with him. Now the rapper wants to take power himself.
