"Kwa mapenzi ya Mungu, nikiwa na afya njema, 2032 nitakuwa kwa kinyang’anyiro,” Mudavadi said, loosely translated to mean that by God’s will and with good health, he will be in the presidential race in 2032.
This is one of the clearest statements Mudavadi has made about his future political ambitions.
For many years, he has been viewed as a cautious and patient politician, often choosing stability and dialogue over confrontation.
His latest remarks suggest that he believes the time will be right in 2032 to offer himself as a national leader.
Mudavadi explained that his current focus remains on supporting President Ruto’s administration and delivering results in his role as Prime Cabinet Secretary.
He noted that the success of the government is important not just for the ruling coalition, but for all Kenyans who expect better services, economic growth, and national unity.
He also pointed out that leadership is a journey that requires preparation, experience, and understanding of the country’s challenges.
Having served in various senior positions, including as Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and party leader, Mudavadi said he feels more equipped than ever to take on greater responsibility in the future.
The declaration has sparked conversations across the country, especially in Western Kenya, where Mudavadi enjoys strong support.
Many of his supporters see the announcement as a sign of confidence and long-term planning, while others believe it will help shape political alignments well ahead of the 2032 election.
