Martha Karua announces 2027 presidential bid

Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua has announced that she intends to run for President come the next General Election slated for 2027.

Speaking on Friday during a burial ceremony in Kiandieri, Kirinyaga County, Karua said that she is no longer going to be anyone's running mate.

Her bid for the presidency is, therefore, seen as further proof of the widespread opposition to the Kenya Kwanza government.

"I want to tell my good former Senator Daniel Karaba that I’m beyond any running mate position, I will be going for the top seat come the next election," she said.

Karua further said that she and any other like-minded Kenyans will continue opposing the Kenya Kwanza administration for its failures.

Karua, who has been vocal in calling out the government, noted that the recent wave of abductions were conducted by people believed to be police officers who are – ironically - supposed to protect the people.

She hence warned the President William Ruto-led government to stop the abductions, noting that the kidnappings, disappearances and extrajudicial killings largely target Kenya's innocent youth.

"These abductions and killings of our youth is now a worrying trend that must stop forthwith,” Karua stated.
