Former Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa has announced that he will vie for the Presidency in 2027.
Wamalwa claims that President William Ruto is already on the path of failure.
He says Ruto is muzzling key constitutional bodies and the criminal justice system, something he says is a sign of bad things to come.
“We have had a very good chat with our leadership that after we conclude our NDC you will be having a presidential candidate of DAP_K.
“I am truly honored that my colleagues have requested me and that since the 10 years I have worked with as Cabinet secretary of different sectors, I am now coming back to politics and when we start that journey in January I will be ready,” said Wamalwa.
“We believe we are the party of the future of the western because the ANC and Ford Kenya are now captured in Kenya kwanza and there is a vacuum growing and we want to grow into it and also they are not going to fill presidential candidates both of them said they will back the president and we are not part of the 2047 but rather we are going for this in 2027,” he added.
Wamalwa accuses Ruto of hypocricy
Wamalwa was speaking during DAP-K first anniversary celebration in Nairobi.
The DAP-K party leader criticized the president on the creation of offices, including that of the proposed one of the Official Leader of Opposition.
“If you said you will not change a comma in this Constitution, why are you now going back to change the new constitutions creating new offices when Kenyans are sleeping hungry and hardly making an ends meet.
I hear there is the first Lady Office, now wants to put an opposition office and even the first daughters office this is not the time to be creating new offices,” he said.

DAP-K secretary general Eseli Simiyu accused independent bodies of forgotten their key role of working for the people of Kenya.
“The Judiciary, Director of Public Prosecutions and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) were now dancing to the tune of the Executive”.
“It is no longer in doubt and this has led to dropping cases against a chosen few with both economic crimes and criminal charge’s being dropped almost on a daily basis while the IEBC has been routed of any fair/neutral arbiters and is now left to act at the behest of the executive. A dangerous situation,” he said.
“Kenya kwanza administration has now decided to prioritize constitutional changes over economic recovery and are now attempting to re-introduce the same BBI they opposed through the backdoor after failing in attempts to improve the economy,” said Eseli.
The DAP-K party also demanded that a full inquiry be instituted into the goings on at IEBC in relation to the August General Election.
This inquiry, they said, “must be comprehensive but must include, Voter registration hence valid voter register, Procurement of election related material
