Millie Odhiambo declares bid for presidency in 2032

Former Chief Justice David Maraga has also declared his intention to contest the presidency in 2027. He has positioned his campaign around governance, accountability and institutional reform.

Other politicians who have declared or indicated plans to contest include former Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, lawyer and activist Boniface Mwangi, and businessman and politician Jimmy Wanjigi. Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of Delivery and Government Efficiency Eliud Owalo has also declared his intention to run.

The United Alternative Government, bringing together leaders including Kalonzo, Karua, Matiang’i, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Wamalwa, has not selected its presidential flag bearer.

Karua said in July that no decision had been made on the coalition’s presidential candidate and that the choice would be made through an agreed consultative framework.

Odhiambo has represented the area now known as Suba North in Parliament since 2008, initially as a nominated MP before being elected to represent the constituency.

She has also spoken on governance, women’s rights, children’s rights, political violence and party organisation.

Her declaration comes after Embakasi East MP Babu Owino announced his own long-term presidential ambitions.

Owino has said he intends to contest the Nairobi governorship in 2027, serve one term and then seek the presidency in 2032
