Candidate announcement
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has dismissed the possibility of a first-time Member of Parliament winning the presidential election in 2027.
According to the Speaker, Kenya’s political history proves that one has to gain adequate political experience before seeking the country’s top seat.
“I urged first-time MPs aspiring to the presidency to learn from Kenya’s political history, where former presidents Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi, Mwai Kibaki, Uhuru Kenyatta and now William Ruto all gained valuable political experience before becoming president,” he said.
