After arousing astonishment and mockery among some by announcing his candidacy for the presidential elections this year, rapper Kanye West appears to be in the pursuit of his project, as he announced his intention to run for the next presidential election in 2024, after winning about 60,000 votes Tuesday.

The 43-year-old singer filmed himself casting his vote in Wyoming, and posted a series of tweets in which he said he participated "for the first time" in a presidential election, and cast his vote "for someone I really trust ... me."

And on the photos he posted, his name appears on the ballot paper handwritten, as Wyoming, where he owns a ranch, was not one of the 12 US states in which he formally qualified to compete as an independent candidate.

Kanye West showed his ambition to run again in the next presidential election after four years, through a tweet in which he wrote "Kanye 2024".

Figures published by US media showed that Kanye West, who suffers from bipolar disorder, and called his wife in July for "sympathy and compassion" for him, did not garner only 0.4% of the vote in the rural states of Idaho, Oklahoma and Utah.

He achieved the highest number of votes in the southern state of Tennessee, in which Donald Trump won, with nearly 10,200 votes.

After supporting Donald Trump shortly after his election as President of the United States in November 2016, Kanye West announced his candidacy for the presidential elections this year on US National Day on the fourth of July.

However, his candidacy raised many questions about his eligibility in terms of mental health, and his seriousness in this step.
