Orengo: I Don’t Want to Spend 2027 in Court Defending Election Results

MWATATE, KENYA — Siaya Governor James Orengo has declared that he has no intention of spending 2027 inside a courtroom defending presidential election petitions, calling for a landslide opposition victory that leaves zero room for legal disputes.

Speaking during a “Linda Mwananchi” rally in Mwatate, Taita Taveta County, on Saturday, July 18, 2026, the veteran human rights lawyer and close ally of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga reflected on his decades-long history of battling electoral outcomes in the Supreme Court.

“Mimi nimekuwa kortini mara mingi kutetea Raila Odinga kwa sababu ya uchaguzi. Sitaki 2027 tena niende kortini; lazima tushinde na kiwango kikubwa kama vile kule Ol Kalou,” Orengo stated, urging the electorate to deliver an undisputed mandate.

The governor rallied residents to overwhelmingly support Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s 2027 presidential bid.

He argued that the opposition must emulate the recent Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election, where the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) candidate secured a decisive landslide victory over the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) candidate.

According to Orengo, a massive margin is the only surefire way to unseat President William Ruto without getting bogged down in post-election legal warfare.

The rally also highlighted a major political shift in the Mount Kenya region. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, speaking in Nyahururu following DCP’s stellar mini-poll performance, issued a public apology for the region’s role in the 2022 election.

He admitted that Mount Kenya made a “fatal mistake” by providing nearly half of the 7.1 million votes that propelled the Kenya Kwanza administration to power.

Gachagua vowed that the region is actively mobilizing to deliver 7.1 million votes independently in 2027 to “wash away the sin” of the current administration’s failures.
