Jimi Wanjigi Unveils Plan to Force Early Elections in Kenya, Citing Constitutional Grounds

In a surprising political development, prominent businessman and former presidential candidate Jimi Wanjigi has unveiled an ambitious plan to initiate elections in Kenya before the scheduled 2027 date. Speaking during an interview on Citizen TV, Wanjigi revealed that his strategy is deeply rooted in Kenya’s constitutional framework and driven by his commitment to addressing the nation's pressing economic challenges.

Wanjigi, who ran for the presidency in 2022, described himself as a deliberate and strategic thinker. "I am a very intentional person," he remarked, reflecting on his previous bid for the presidency. "When I ran for the presidency in 2022, it was intentional, knowing very well what was coming against me." He emphasized that his current focus on the economy is part of a carefully crafted plan to reshape Kenya's political landscape.

Central to Wanjigi’s strategy is a detailed script that his team has developed, which he claims aligns with Kenya's Constitution. He specifically cited Articles 1, 2, and 3, which outline the sovereignty of the people, the supremacy of the Constitution, and the right of citizens to exercise their power directly or through elected representatives. According to Wanjigi, these constitutional provisions provide a legitimate pathway to bring about early elections.

"We have drawn up a script following the Constitution of this land, Articles 1, 2, and 3, that will bring an election before 2027," Wanjigi boldly declared. His announcement is likely to shake up the political scene in Kenya, as it raises questions about the feasibility and legality of forcing an early election and the potential impact on the country's political stability.
