President Miguna Miguna 2027
Senior lawyer Miguna Miguna has announced his intention to run for president in the upcoming 2027 General Election.
The former Nairobi Governor hopeful shared this exciting news during a live interview on TV47 Wednesday night.
Miguna explained that his decision is rooted in a vision he describes as transformative and focused on the needs of the people.
“I am going to vie for the presidency of the Republic of Kenya in 2027, and I am going to do it on a transformative vision,” he said.
“A vision that identifies the interest of the people of Kenya as the core and the foundation of moving the country forward.”
He added that his agenda would be guided by values that depart from current governance approaches.
“It is a vision that is built on integrity and is built on socialism, not capitalism,” Miguna stated.
Miguna has thrown his hat into the ring for the 2027 presidential race, joining a growing list of contenders. This announcement adds to an already bustling field, with both seasoned politicians and newcomers gearing up for what looks to be a fiercely competitive election.
Among those eyeing the presidency in next year’s general elections are former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i, ex-Chief Justice David Maraga, and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, to name just a few.
Also in the mix are Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, PLP leader Martha Karua, Eugene Wamalwa, and Boniface Mwangi.
Matiang’i has already received the Jubilee Party’s endorsement as their presidential candidate, and a recent poll even shows him leading several experienced politicians, indicating he’s gaining traction in key areas.
He’ll be up against President William Ruto, who has made it clear he’s aiming for a second term.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is getting ready for the 2027 elections, with officials emphasizing that 2026 will be a pivotal year.
Their plans include wrapping up voter registration and reviewing electoral processes to ensure a fair election.
Various stakeholders, including civil society and political parties, are working with the commission to promote transparency and build trust in the electoral process.
In a significant update from the country’s largest party, ODM leader Oburu Oginga mentioned that they have yet to decide whether to put forward their own presidential candidate or to form a coalition with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
“Of course, if we are going it alone, I want to make it absolutely clear that our constitution already has a presidential candidate,” he said on December 31, 2025.
“That presidential candidate is none other than the party leader. It is the party leader speaking, and I am the party leader. I am the presidential leader for ODM if ODM decides to go it alone.”
He said ODM will make a formal decision before the end of 2026.
“Things must be worked out before 2027. Going into the New Year, before the end of the New Year, we shall have decided and made clear all the necessary arrangements,” Oburu said.
“Before the end of the year, our party shall know whether we are going it alone or we are going to go into a coalition with other parties.”
Despite the growing dissatisfaction among the public, the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition is celebrating political victories in the recent by-elections. These wins in November 2025 are being hailed as a significant boost for President Ruto’s supporters as they gear up for the 2027 elections.
