Omtatah unveils committee for 2027 presidential bid
Busia Senator and
Activist Okiya Omtatah has officially launched his presidential exploratory
mission by establishing a 10-member committee to assess his viability to run
for President in 2027.
The committee, led by
Mary Kathomi and composed of political strategists, activists, and legal
experts, will conduct nationwide opinion polls to gauge Omtatah’s popularity,
assess his chances of securing the presidency and gather insights on his
appeal while strategizing ways to outmanoeuvre potential opponents in the
political landscape.
Omtatah is confident in his mission to unseat President William Ruto,
whom he accuses of failing the country. He has since urged
Kenyans to rally behind him as the alternative against the Kenya Kwanza
Government.
"My focus is not
going to be diminished... I know there is a fight to dislodge President William
Ruto and I am ready," said Omtatah.
"We're confident
Omtatah is the right person for the job, but we want to hear from Kenyans
themselves as we move forward—across every constituency," Julius Okara,
the committee's patron, added.
Gen-Z activist Hanifa
Farsafi, who is also part of the committee as a Public Relations Strategist,
has backed Omtatah’s bid, sparking a new conversation about Gen-Z's political
inclinations.
"What Omtatah
stands for is exactly what we stand for. His values resonate with us, and we
believe in his principles," Farsafi said.
Omtatah is
optimistic that Kenyans will financially
support his campaign to dislodge the Kenya Kwanza government in the long run.
“People keep talking about money, but Kenyans
have already shown their goodwill. We will get the support we need as we
continue," he said.
A first-time senator
and longtime activist, Omtatah has been relentless in his criticism of the
current administration and is now positioning himself as the alternative.
