The Amani National Congress (ANC) Womens League has begun presidential campaigns for the party leader Musalia Mudavadi in earnest.
On Saturday, the women leaders launched a nationwide campaign for Mudavadi ahead of the 2022 Presidential race, stating he is the best leader for Kenya.
The women leaders, among them woman representatives and MCAs from across the country, converged in Kisumu where they made the declaration to launch campaigns for Mudavadi’s presidential bid.
In a statement, they maintained that with Mudavadi as the country’s president, “Kenya will resume the journey to respectability among the nations of the world.”

“We are certain that the only hope for Kenya getting back its lost glory and restoring itself to a vibrant economy must start by having the right leaders in the right place,” noted the statement read by Immaculate Shamalla, an MCA from Trans-Nzoia County.
“We the women in ANC assembled here in Kisumu today and drawn from across the Republic of Kenya, do hereby endorse Musalia Mudavadi for this noble assignment.
“We further endorse him as our solitary presidential candidate for the 2022 elections,” the statement read in part.
Speaking during the closure of the two-day meeting in Kisumu, Kholera MCA Godliver Omondi (Kakamega County) remarked they were saddened by the circus and disorder “that our country has sunk into.”
Teresiah Muoki from Kwale County and Evelyn Mwanzo from Kakamega further maintained that Kenya was bleeding and needed a leader like Mudavadi to save it from corruption and poverty.

Mwanzo added that Kenya’s misery resulted from politics of exclusion and manipulation, leading to an authoritarian executive.
