Martha Karua announced her presidential candidacy for Kenya's 2027 General Election during the People's Liberation Party conference on Friday. The party leader committed to serving just one five-year term if voters elect her. Karua stated her motivation stems from public service rather than personal ambition.
The former minister believes five years provides sufficient time to establish strong foundations for Kenya's future development. She plans to launch the "One People, One Purpose, One Term" movement to unite opposition forces. Karua wants to change how African leaders view power and prevent politicians from clinging to office.
Her announcement creates competition within opposition ranks. Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has also declared his intention to seek the presidency in 2027.
