Karua was a running mate to Azimio party leader Raila Odinga<\/a> but their ticket lost to President William Ruto in the closely contested race.<\/p>\n\u201cWe need\u00a0to get this country organized and I feel deep down in me that I have something to offer in relation to that. This nation needs to be returned\u00a0to order,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Karua has been Kenya\u2019s only strong female contender to vie for the presidency in what will present another opportunity for the electorate to either make history by electing her or not.<\/p>\n
While making her case, Karua criticized the current administration, accusing it of failing miserably in fulfilling its mandate and emphasizing the urgent need for change. <\/p>\n
\u201cPeople\u2019s needs must be prioritized, wasteful spending must be cut and the rule of law must be observed,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
Referencing the President Ruto-led government as \u201ca rogue state\u201d Karua urged Kenyans to unite and push for change ahead of the 2027 General Election.<\/p>\n
She emphasized that national unity will be key to achieving better governance and prosperity for Kenya.<\/p>\n
Karua who recently rebranded her party from the old Narc Kenya to her new outfit People\u2019s Liberation Party underscored the need for change, insisting it\u2019s crucial for the nation\u2019s progress. <\/p>\n
\u201cMoving forward we must move guided by our national values and principles of governance and so as Kenyans let us unite and liberate ourselves,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
As political alignments and alliances continue to take shape, Karua will face the challenge of convincing her peers \u2014 including former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua \u2014 that she is the right choice to lead as a presidential flag bearer.<\/p>\n
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang\u2019i are also among those eyeing a chance to challenge President Ruto.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
