Why Sifuna May Not Be Ready for Presidency - Waiguru

Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru has questioned whether Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has the political capacity and machinery to mount a successful presidential campaign.

Speaking on Sunday, October 18, Waiguru argued that the Nairobi Senator may need more time to prepare for the country’s top seat.

She cited the political decisions made by Sifuna’s allies as an example of what she considers a weakness in his ability to build the support base required to win a presidential election.

"Let me give you one example that made me know that Sifuna still needs time. When they were deciding on the party to run, his closest allies, who hold his hands up, he could not convince them to abandon their parties for his," she said.

Waiguru argued that a presidential candidate must demonstrate the ability to rally elected leaders and mobilise political resources before seeking the presidency.
