Ford Kenya party leader Moses Wetang’ula has declared that he will contest for the Presidency in the 2022 general election and succeed NASA leader, Raila Odinga.
Speaking during a church service at Christ the King Catholic Church on Sunday, the Bungoma senator said that, with the political retirement of Odinga, he was ready to take up the mantle.
Wetangula said he shelved his presidential ambition for Odinga’s campaign, adding that he is the most suitable person to take over from Raila.
“I let my ambition go in order to support Raila in the concluded elections and with his proclamation of not going for the top seat, I will go for it in 2022,” he said.
Wetang’ula unveiled his presidential bid in 2016 at Muliro Gardens in Kakamega but was to retract his pursuit and support Odinga under the National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition power sharing deal.
Wetang’ula said he has amassed enough experience over the years in elective politics, which gives him the edge to go for the country’s top seat come 2022.
He said he will chip in to offer his legal knowledge to the NASA presidential petition seeking to overturn President Uhuru Kenyatta’s reelection.
The senator said that Nasa has substantial evidence to prove that President Kenyatta had not won the election.
“They never won the just concluded elections. They rigged this election and the evidence we have presented is enough and we want justice to be done,” he said.
He further said that NASA would seek alternative methods to resolve the dispute, should the Supreme Court rule against their favor.
I am happy because the no…
I am happy because the no-nonsense Makambulu,the UK Govt will stop this devil/thug,Wetangula and another equally corrupt evil lady-Wangari Njoka.Hii kesi ya kupokea ruswa kutoka BAT dio kiboko yao.Do hawa makasia remember that majambazi Tobiko na Wako are not prosecutors in UK?
Welcome Bro. Wetangula. You…
Welcome Bro. Wetangula. You will be facing DP Ruto, Senator Moi, someone from Mt Kenya and a host of junior minions from the by then disintegrated Jubilee NASA. Your main challenge will be to get at least three big tribes on your side. The Abeingo numbers might disappoint you courtesy of perennial nagging among Bungoma and Vihiga residents. Your neighbours to the east cannot be relied upon as they will be split between Ruto and Moi. Forget the Major Nyanza who will stick to Orengo or any Raila annointee and forget the Minor Nyanza who will sit on the fence as usual and watch where the wind blows. The rest of Kenya cannot fill a basket and your best bet is to be running mate of that Mt Kenyan I alluded to.
Kenya can and WILL survive…
Kenya can and WILL survive without a leader from Mt Kenya aka central aka wa viazi aka ma hustlers in Chief.Start campaigning now you can tell the elections were rigged when they listed that Kalenjins were more than the Abaluhya really .Unbelievable considering that the luhya are known for being polygamous and having several sponsors with several children out of wedlock .
Aren’t we tired of this…
Aren’t we tired of this oldies wanting the highest office in Kenya? I will be ready for a brand new face and deliverer in leadership and a selfless being who will fight for kenyans equally. A Matiang’i kind as the overall boss.
