David Mwaure, the father of Citizen TV news anchor Waihiga Mwaura, is the party leader of the Agano party. He has thrown his hat in the ring for the 2022 presidential seat just four months after the August 9, 2022 polls.
He was unveiled as the Agano Party presidential candidate on Saturday after the political outfit held its National Delegates Conference.
Speaking during the NDC, David Mwaure cautioned Kenyans against electing politicians with integrity issues in the forthcoming polls.
“We in Agano are saying it is time for a change, it is time for Kenya to have new leadership. We are saying that Kenya will not go anywhere if we let the same leaders who have been there for years. It is time to bring to an end the curse and practice of corruption and scandals,” said Waihiga Mwaura father.
The politician-cum preacher contested for the Kamukunji Parliamentary seat in 2011 after the high court nullified Simon Mbugua’s election. He lost.
