Opposition leader Raila Odinga’s 2022 presidential chief agent Saitabao Ole Kanchory has declared his intentions to unseat President William Ruto in the 2027 elections.
In a statement via his official social media page on Wednesday, August 9, said his decision came about due to public demand that he should vie for the top seat in 2027.
“Now you have a reason to vote on August 10, 2027. Vote Saitaboa the 6th for a new and better Kenya. Safari imeanza,” Kanchory announced.
He further said declared his candidature early since the campaigns had either started or never stopped after last year’s General Election.
“The next election is 4 short years away and since the campaigns have started (or never stopped), let me take this early opportunity to answer your call for me and other courageous young leaders to rescue our country from the wicked grip of political deception, con-manship and corruption that cuts across the current political divide,” he said.
Before announcing his 2027 presidential bid, the famed lawyer said that he would not use his tribesmen to defend him or his policies on social media.
“When I am President, I will politely ask my Maa kinsmen not to be my most vocal and vitriol defenders in Parliament and on social media; it doesn’t help to build a fractured nation that way. Good thing their time is ticking fast,” he tweeted.
In his book, ‘Why Baba is not the 5th’, Kanchory has admitted that Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition presidential candidate in the 2022 elections Raila Odinga lost fairly to now President William Ruto.
He said Raila lost due to disorganization and fighting within the coalition.
