Samson Cherargei take on Okiya Omtatah presidential bid

UPDATE: Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has given his Busia counterpart Okiya Omtatah a tip on running a successful presidential campaign, one that will require him to break the bank.

This is after Omtatah announced his interest in the 2027 polls on Saturday after he formed a 10-member committee to assess his candidacy.

Shortly after Omtatah went public, Senator Cherargei told him that he would need a minimum of Ksh.7 billion amongst other requirements that would make him outrun his opponents.

He adds that Omtatah will also require an established voting bloc and grass roots networks, which are impeded by scarce social media engagement.

Cherargei further adds that Omtatah’s bid might be a toll order given he will be contesting against President William Ruto “who outwitted & outsmarted the government candidate Raila Odinga in 2022 General elections

Samson Cherargei: To my brother and colleague Senator Okiya Omtatah while I wish you well in your Presidential bid they are few things you need to be aware of such as to run a successful presidential campaign you need minimum of 7B ; a voting bloc that’s established; grass roots network that aren’t even aware of social media existence/hype plus to vie against H.E Ruto is a toll order who outwitted & outsmarted the government candidate Raila odinga in 2022 General elections.
