Siaya Governor James Orengo has announced his intention to contest the presidency in 2027, signalling the start of what insiders describe as a calculated political offensive against President William Ruto’s re-election bid.
The declaration comes after weeks of intense consultations and high voltage political rallies across Nairobi, Western Kenya, and the Nyanza regions, where pressure has been mounting from Mr Orengo’s supporters demanding that he step onto the national stage.
