Former Kenyan presidential candidate Mohamed Abduba Dida has launched a spiritual and humanitarian initiative from Minnesota following his release from federal custody in April. The 50-year-old introduced the Dida Global Network through video, calling for humanity to unite beyond racial, economic and religious divisions while emphasizing shared origins and purpose. He plans to reestablish the Dida Foundation International with office space dedicated to supporting disadvantaged populations worldwide.
Dida completed a partial sentence at Big Muddy Correctional Centre in Illinois after convictions related to stalking and violating protective orders obtained by his American spouse. Court documents indicate he unknowingly breached legal restrictions by visiting a worship facility near her residence. The Wajir-born politician previously competed for Kenya's presidency in 2013 and 2017 under the Alliance for Real Change banner, gaining recognition for his direct communication style despite modest electoral results.
