Kenyan lawyer Miguna Miguna considers running for presidency in 2022

by Enock Ndayala

Canada-based Kenyan lawyer Miguna Miguna says he is considering running for the country’s top office in the year’s General Election.

This is after a Kenyan identified as Alex Mayore wrote to the controversial lawyer requesting him to run for the presidency and bring international attention to the injustices that are currently happening to him.

“As you prepared to run for the governor of Nairobi earlier after Sonko impeachment, I’d like to suggest to you that you consider running for president in the fast-approaching 2022 elections,” Mayore wrote to Miguna.

Taking to his official social media pages on Monday, December 20, the lawyer said he is considering the call.

“Should Miguna Miguna vie for President in 2022? A solidarity call from a Kenyan Patriot. We are considering these calls,” said Miguna Miguna in a Tweet.

Miguna had expressed interest in the Nairobi gubernatorial seat following the impeachment of then-Governor Mike Sonko.

And as the clock ticks towards the much-hyped 2022 General Election, the exiled lawyer is yet to declare his next political seat.

It however remains to be seen how Miguna will go about this considering he has tried several times to come back to Kenya in vain.

Miguna vied for the Nairobi gubernatorial race in the 2017 General Election where he emerged forth.

Deputy President William Ruto, former Premier Raila Odinga, National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi, and One Kenya Alliance principals Musalia Mudavadi, Kalonzo Musyoka, Gideon Moi, and Moses Wetang’ula have expressed their interest in the presidency.

This comes barely hours after the outspoken lawyer said ODM leader Raila Odinga who is among the front runners for the 2022 presidential election is unfit to lead the country.

He accused the opposition leader of not only being dishonest but also a traitor, the factors he said make the former prime minister unfit to be president.

“From 2007-2011, I was one of Raila Odinga’s chief strategists and thinkers. I also wrote his campaign speeches and accompanied him on trips abroad,

“From 2009-2011, I was his Chief Adviser. I swore him in in 2018. I know the man like the back of my hand. He (Raila Odinga) is not fit,” Miguna said.
