Speaking to journalists on Monday in Nairobi, Mr Mwangi said that the new outfit, Ukweli Party, is a grassroots political movement that heralds a new dawn in Kenya politics.

โ€œOn this very day we dare to be the change we want to see,โ€ said Mr Mwangi, who is the party leader.

Mr Mwangi said that the party seeks to help citizens realise their full potential and prosper economically. The partyโ€™s slogan is โ€œPower to the Peopleโ€.

โ€œWe want a Kenya where our leaders truly serve the people and stand behind principles of fairness, inclusion and good stewardship,โ€ he said.

NO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

He added that the party will not go into coalition with any other party in the country and will also not field a presidential candidate but will front candidates in parliamentary and county assembly seats across the country.

โ€œWe want to bring change from the bottom up and cultivate participatory democracy beyond mere participation in elections but in the day-to-day governance,โ€ said Mr Mwangi.

He has declared interest in vying for the Starehe Constituency seat currently held by Jubileeโ€™s Maina Kamanda.

However, he faces strong opposition from the incumbent, Mr Kamanda, and flamboyant businessman Steve Mbogo of ODM.

Former Nacada board member and musician, Mr Charles Njagua Kanyi, popularly known as Jaguar in the music circles, has also shown keen interest in the seat.
