Former United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Secretary-General Mukhisa Kituyi has shelved his presidential ambitions to support ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Speaking when he accompanied Odinga during his tour of Bungoma on Friday, Kituyi said he made the move after holding talks with the ODM party leader for the last three weeks.
“I have come to request my people of Kimilili to allow me to join Raila’s national campaign team. I would want to be close to him so that if he is elected my path can also be opened,” Kituyi stated.
Kituyi, a former Trade Minister in the Mwai Kibaki administration, further noted that he joined forces with Odinga to stop Deputy President William Ruto from ascending to power.
“It is important that a certain person be stopped from ever coming close to being president,” he added.
Kituyi resigned from his position in February last year to contest for the presidency during this year’s elections, saying his main agenda would be to implement policies to improve the country’s economy, which is reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. He averred that his international experience made him the most suitable candidate to succeed President Kenyatta.
Kituyi was appointed the seventh UNCTD secretary-general in 2013 and reappointed for another four-year term in July 2017. He was Kenya’s highest-ranking diplomat in the UN.
He previously served as the MP for Kimilili constituency for three terms between 1992 and 2007.
