Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has expressed his intention to run for the presidency in 2032, rather than seeking a vice-presidential spot. During an interview on August 23, 2026, Mudavadi emphasized that his ambition is to compete for the top seat in the country, not to serve as a deputy to another presidential candidate.
He confirmed that he has always intended to pursue the presidency in 2032, despite his support for current President William Ruto's re-election in 2027. Mudavadi's decision to run for president is based on his belief in Ruto's leadership and vision, not on any expectation of receiving a political position. He clarified that his support for Ruto is not contingent on being given a role in his administration.
Mudavadi's comments join a growing list of senior politicians discussing their ambitions for the 2032 presidential race, following the announcement that National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula plan to seek the presidency after Ruto's term ends.
