00:05declaring himself the most qualified candidate to unseat President William Ruto in 2027.

00:12Speaking in Moranga in Central Kenya, Gashagwa asserted that Kenyans have decided to end Ruto's tenure

00:18after one term and he alone possesses the courage and capability to defeat the head of state.

00:24He officially declared, I have agreed to run for the presidency.

00:30To fuel his ambition, Gashagwa has launched the Democracy for the Citizens Party

00:35and is courting support from his Mount Kenya base and opposition heavyweights like Kalonzo Musioka and Martha Karua.
