Mudavadi to succeed President William Ruto
Mudavadi plots 2032 presidential bid to succeed William Ruto as he embarks on elusive Luhya unity talks
Mudavadi plots 2032 presidential bid to succeed William Ruto as he embarks on elusive Luhya unity talks.
Even though signs point to Musalia Mudavadi’s potential second candidacy for president in 2032, he has set out on a quest to mobilize his Western region neighbors to support the administration.
According to some of his allies, he’s likely to support President William Ruto’s reelection in 2027 and make a second attempt in the 2032 succession race.
Fred Ikana, a Shinyalu MP, hinted on Tuesday that Mr. Mudavadi might run in 2032 while also calling for Luhya unity to increase his chances of succeeding President Ruto.
“If this (unity) is achieved then Mudavadi will be better placed to go for the presidency after Ruto’s second term in 2032,” he said in Vihiga.

However, Mr. Mudavadi would cross the bridge at the right time, according to Simon Gikuru, secretary general of the Amani National Congress (ANC), who also notes that “his current position in the Kenya Kwanza administration puts him in a vantage position to succeed President Ruto.”
Mudavadi who has been rallying political leaders from the Western region met professionals from the region and urged them to unite with the regional political leadership in unlocking the economic potential of the region.
Speaking to Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) officials from Western Region, Mr. Mudavadi emphasized the need to empower people economically.
“The habit of idle talking endlessly by our intellectuals must give way to focussed deliberations on how to help unlock the economic potential so that our people can have dignified livelihoods and not live in perpetual poverty,” he said.
“What we need to see is everyone having the ability to take care of their family. The queues should be shortened by all of us working towards empowering our people to be able to meet the daily obligations for individual families,” added Mudavadi.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary noted that there is a need to have a regional vision that will shape and drive the future of Western Kenya’s economic well-being.
He asked the region’s residents to re-think about worshipping and glorifying politicians who lie.
He called on the business community, intellectuals, professionals, and political leadership of the region to start thinking strategically and broadly on a road map to grow the region’s economy.
