#kenya: *EX-CJ MARAGA OFFICIALLY DECLARES 2027 PRESIDENTIAL BID* Former Chief Justice David Maraga has declared his candidacy for Kenya’s 2027 presidential election. In a televised interview, Maraga said his decision followed deep reflection and consultations, citing widespread corruption, police brutality, and youth disenfranchisement as key motivators. He’s positioning himself as a principled, integrity-driven alternative to the current political establishment, even calling himself the “Gen Z presidential candidate” to emphasize his focus on mentoring and empowering young people. Maraga also pledged to run a campaign free from the usual money politics, instead inviting Kenyans to crowdfund his logistical expenses.
