Kanu's Nyanza officials have begun marketting former President Moi's son Gideon Moi for the 2022 presidential race.
The party's National Executive Council member and Deputy Organising Secretary Jack Nyambega said they are currently supporting President Uhuru Kenyatta for re-election in this year’s general polls but will field Chairman Gideon Moi in 2022.
‘’We may have not fielded a presidential candidate for the August General Election in favour of President Uhuru, but God willing, come 2022 our candidate will be Gideon,’’ said Nyambega.
All Kanu branch executive members from Kisumu, Homa Bay, Nyamira, Siaya, Migori and Kisii counties will on Tuesday meet in Kisumu to forge the way forward for the party's future.
Among issues to be discussed will include reviving the old network of the party as well reactivating party offices in Nyanza's six counties, sources revealed.
‘’We want to open an office in every county. When others will be busy looking for the presidency, we will be pre-occupied building our house to make our way to power,’’ stated Nyambega.
“Our aim is that come 2022, Kanu should have done enough ground work and picked all the strong candidates to field in all the 290 constituencies,” observed Kanu Kisumu branch Secretary Ken Onyango .
