Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has advised politicians eyeing the presidency in the 2027 General Election to go beyond slogans and present transformative ideas.
In a statement on Sunday, May 18, Amisi highlighted the dissatisfaction among Kenyans with the current leadership, adding that candidates must now rise to the occasion with tangible solutions.
The MP explained that the ideas will determine how Kenyans will vote in the upcoming elections.
"To all 2027 presidential candidates, as Kenyans sing Ruto Must Go, you must, in the meantime, demonstrate how different and revolutionary ideas you possess to lift Kenya from the sinking ship to the promised land.
"That will determine the choice that Kenyans will unanimously endorse against all other potential leaders," he stated.
