Miguna Miguna to Contest for Nairobi Governor's Seat
Kenyan-Canadian attorney Miguna Miguna says he will contest for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat in the forthcoming elections.
Miguna, who was deported to Canada in 2018, announced the move during an interview on KTN News on Wednesday night, saying he is eligible to vie for the seat.
“I intend to run for the Nairobi governor seat. I am a registered voter and I can run for any office,” Miguna said.
Miguna unsuccessfully contested for the same seat in the 2017 general elections on an independent ticket, garnering less than one percent of the votes cast. He finished fourth behind Mike Sonko of Jubilee Party, Evans Kidero of ODM, and Peter Kenneth.
“I will be running on a party yet to be declared; that is where it is. Wait for the announcement, if I change my mind I will let you know,” Miguna added.
It is not clear how Miguna will contest and conduct his campaigns as his attempts to return to the country have been futile.
Miguna was deported in February 2018 following his arrest for taking part in the mock swearing-in of ODM leader Raila Odinga as ‘people’s president’. The Immigration Department later stated that Miguna was illegally in the country, saying he had renounced his Kenyan citizenship while acquiring a Canadian passport.
In 2018, Justice Chacha Mwita ruled that Miguna is a Kenyan citizen and that his birthright is not affected by him holding a Canadian passport. The judge added that Miguna’s rights were violated when they deported him and awarded Sh7 million as compensation.
Several court orders have since been issued directing the government to facilitate Miguna’s return to Kenya but authorities have ignored these orders.

I would vote for da general but Uhuru won't let him back in. Ruto will
Make it 2 @ Go crypto. We need a firebrand like him to shake up things.
Let’s all do this Max. Ruto kumi
Now I know you are very confused to refer to a useless guy like Miguna as “firebrand”. It clearly shows that you have a scant view of the future of kenya if you think Miguna Miguna is worth to be the next governor of Nairobi.
I Hope he runs and wins.
You can go campaign for him in his absence. So you expect a stupid idiot to be in charge of Nairobi?
Crypto let’s seal the deal with like minded fellows…Ruto kumi. Siku ya election ni kumira kumira tutware guuka icio mwitaga anga nursing home anga doctor homes
Baby steps, he needs to be in the country to be a governor.
Miguna, how can you do that? You are not going to win, but, let’s create a senario here….say you win—-but you won’t, how and from where would you rule? From Ontario Canada? Kibera? Dandora? Westlands? I know you’ll never read this, but if it was me I would sit this one out—for now. Guka and Uhuru has been trying to squeeze your makende for few years now. I would wait until president Ruto is inaugurated then start making mends na hiyo gava then start slowly packing and then come back full force and vie in 2027. Saa hii utatupa pesa yako and am sure wewe ni maskini….not kama sisi hapa maai mahiu but poor compared to hizo nyang’au zingine. My two cents 🤗
Miguna,good luck and please don't forget that KENYANS use their tummies to think DURING elections PERIOD.
This guy is broke. He is saying the government to get $10K to feed his kids. He does not have money to launch a campaign.
MIGUNA MIGUNA: Nakuomba useme maneno ya kweli.
Ulipohojiwa na Mtangazaji wa Habari wa KTN, ulisema yafuatayo yasiyo ya kweli.
1. Ulisema Hayati Kamau (Kenyatta) aliachiliwa kutoka kifungoni mwaka wa 1962 au 1963! Si kweli kabisa. Aliachiliwa mwezi wa nane (Agosti) 1961.
2. Ulisema Hayati Toroitich Kipkorios Arap Moi alisoma na kufika darasa la nne! Si kweli.
3. Ulisema ya kwamba, Ndugu Rais Uhuru Ngina Kamau alianguka mitihani yote ya shule aliyofanya! Si kweli hata kidogo.
Nakuomba ndugu uanze kusema ukweli wakati wowote na mahali poipote.
Because as Trump proves daily, lies seem to get to our baser instincts faster. Here is a truth for you. Gideon Moi absolutely flunked form four(bottom of his class!!). The next year, he crossed over to Saints🤔.
Si mahali poipote ni mahali popotey! :-)
@ OpenHeavens:
Asante sana kwa kunikosoa. Hata mimi mwenyewe tayari nilikuwa nimeshaliona kosa hilo.
Nawe pia umefanya makosa. Si "mahali popotey." Kiswahili sanifu ni "mahali popote."
You forgot the link to show who is the thief.
Surely @opennheavens, what are you talking about? Have you not listened to MP Keter’s link saying DP Ruto is a thief? Imara Daima, please can you post the Keter’s link for this guy to understand that Ruto is a thief? Mwizi ni Yule Yule! UDAku ya wezi!
Here is Keter link;

Last I heard Muguna was in a French or German airport arguing with their airlines to honor judge Odunga's court order and allow him to board. I am guessing he will campaign remotely from Canada.
Miguna Miguna ought to stay put where he is right now in the cold country of Canada. He has nothing to add to Nairobi. He will be worse than Sonko if elected a governor. Nairobians know better to elected Miguna Miguna.
Given his inability to set foot in Kenya, I'm wondering if he can be a governor by proxy.
How can Miguna Miguna lead others while he can’t lead himself? Ndomo tupu. Bure kabisa!
