Mukhisa Kituyi recently quit as the secretary-general of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) to run for president in 2022.
The former Trade Minister, who served in retired President Mwai Kibaki’s administration between 2002 and 2007 declared his presidential bid when he met professionals in Bungoma County early last month.
Since he made this announcement, Dr Kituyi’s presidential bid continues to elicit mixed reactions in Western region, with questions abound on what his candidature could mean for Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi and Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang’ula.
