Malalah Warns Sifuna: Pick a Mount Kenya Running Mate or Risk Repeat of Raila’s 2022 Failure

NAIROBI, KENYA — As political realignments intensify ahead of the 2027 General Election, Nairobi Senator and former Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has received a firm political warning over his ambition to unseat President William Ruto.

Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) Deputy Leader Cleophas Malalah has cautioned Sifuna that his path to the presidency strictly depends on securing a running mate from the vote-rich Mount Kenya region.

Although Sifuna has yet to formally declare the specific political party platform he will use, key political indicators suggest he is preparing a serious bid for the top seat, threatening to disrupt expectations for the 2027 presidential race.

However, Malalah believes Sifuna’s strategy could collapse if he ignores crucial regional arithmetic.

According to Malalah, Mount Kenya commands over 8 million votes, making it mathematically impossible for any presidential candidate to ignore the bloc and secure a victory.

He warned Sifuna against repeating the strategic blunders of veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga, who historically failed to cement early partnerships with the region.

Malalah noted that by the time Odinga selected Martha Karua as his running mate in the 2022 general election, it was too late for the Mount Kenya electorate to fully embrace his bid.

The warning underscores the growing emphasis on cross-regional coalitions in Kenyan politics. Malalah insisted that if Sifuna hopes to turn his political momentum into a winning presidential campaign, he must avoid past opposition mistakes and actively engage Mount Kenya early to build a formidable, winning ticket against the incumbent administration.
