In the heart of Trans Nzoia County, Governor George Natembeya stood before a crowd of eager supporters, his voice filled with resolve. It was a momentous occasion—a declaration that would reverberate across the political landscape of Kenya. As his tenure as governor neared its end, Natembeya revealed his ambition to take on an even greater challenge: vying for the presidency.
“I have served this county with all my heart, and now, I feel the calling to serve the entire nation,” Natembeya told the crowd, his words met with applause. He spoke of unity, inclusivity, and the need for leadership that would prioritize the well-being of every Kenyan, regardless of their background or status.
As the crowd cheered, Natembeya’s gaze shifted to the horizon. The road ahead would be tough, but with a determined heart and a strong vision for Kenya’s future, he was ready to take on the challenge and fight for the opportunity to lead the nation.
Addressing speculation about his political ambitions, Natembeya dismissed claims of seeking a running mate position, arguing that such roles often limit one’s vision.
“You can’t change things when you’re the deputy. The room to manoeuvre is very limited. Sometimes, even giving advice can lead to your impeachment. Kenyans want a total change, and you can’t get that by deputising anybody,” he added.
