West Pokot Governor John Lonyangapuo has declared that he will run for the presidency in the year 2027 when his term as the governor comes to an end.
Lonyangapuo who is currently eying the West Pokot gubernatorial seat through his Kenya Unity Party said, for now, he will focus on defending his seat to complete the projects that he has begun.
“I will be elected as the governor unopposed, after winning, ladies and gentlemen of Nairobi, let us meet in State House after five years, if you are a man like me, let us meet there,” the vocal governor said.
Lonyangapuo also added that he does not care who will win between Raila Odinga and DP Ruto but he is ready to face the winner in the 2027 General Elections.
“The upcoming polls let baba Raila and my brother Ruto contest and anyone interested in the seat, I will wait whoever will win will meet with me after five years” he added.
Governor Lonyangapuo also banned UDA wheelbarrow erections in West Pokot county. The governor said the time for erecting party symbol has not yet arrived and he will not allow that to happen in his county.
He said his Kenya Unity Party, KANU, Jubilee have not erected any symbol therefore it is unfair for UDA to erect wheelbarrows. He said the move could cause political instability.
“I have refused, have you seen any big posters of KUP party here, the days of erecting such things has not arrived according to the law, I don’t know why UDA people have feared, I have told them don’t erect anything it will bring conflict to wait for campaign date”. He said.
