National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has hinted at running for the presidency in 2032 with a rallying call for Western Kenya youth to support President William Ruto’s re-election bid.
According to the Ford Kenya party leader, supporting Ruto will be the best foundation for him to be a strong candidate in the political succession matrix.
“I have walked a long political journey. I cannot now come back to seek a Senate seat, a parliamentary seat, or a governorship. I am moving forward,” Wetang’ula said at his residence in Namuyemba.
“We must build friendships with other communities from the Coast, Luo Nyanza, the Rift Valley, and Mount Kenya. I want you to be my goodwill ambassadors as I prepare myself for the top job.”
Wetang’ula said his immediate political priority remains supporting President Ruto’s re-election campaign, describing their partnership as vital for national stability and development.
“We are pushing President Ruto’s agenda. We are partners. Now we must work for his re-election in 2027, and then in 2032 it will be our turn. The best way to get there is by using the President’s goodwill.
“It is important to get your political weapon. The identity card is what allows you to get your vote. I want to urge you, young people, you are my last line of defence. I work hard because of you. I move fast and tirelessly like dikdik because of you.”
