Labour Party of Kenya leader and Budalang'i MP Ababu Namwamba has hinted at running for the presidency in 2017.
Ababu who is marketing his new political outfit in the North Rift since decamping from ODM where he was the secretary general, said LPK is yet to announce a presidential candidate to support in next year’s general election.
“We are going to make a decision on whether to field our own candidate or support another. But if you look at me, I’m I not capable of gunning for the presidency like the other leaders who have already declared their interests in the seat?” said Ababu as quoted by the Daily Nation.
“We (as Labour Party) can decide to sponsor our own candidate,” added the MP at 64 Stadium in Eldoret on Friday.
According to the Daily Nation, Ababu said the party is yet to decide its preferred presidential candidate and would make a decision before the end of the year.
He at the same time called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to fight graft
