Martha Karua has declared that she will run for president in 2027. Speaking during her PLP Party's special national delegates conference Friday, she said that if elected Head of State, she will only serve one term.
"So that others don't think 'one term' is an insult, I stand before you to tell you that we must demystify power in Kenya, in East Africa and in Africa. People get to power and they refuse to leave power. Martha Karua, yours truly, is seeking a single term; one term," she said.
