The businessman was donning an ODM sash while in the meeting which took place in Shauri Moyo.

While announcing his candidacy for the presidency, Wanjigi revealed that he intends to run on an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party ticket.

According to reports by Nation, the billionaire who is also a kingmaker was ready to take on political enigma Raila Odinga for the party's primary spot.

"As an ODM life member, I have what it takes to lead the party and the country, into the future," said Wanjigi.

The billionaire, who has been a silent actor in Kenya's politics, confirmed that he would be active and would not play the role of a Kingmaker anymore.

Wanjigi has been a political financier with Raila Odinga, President Uhuru Kenyatta, and Deputy President William Ruto being among his clients.

The Businessman’s declaration comes at a time when the ODM party is trying to merge with Jubilee Party to have one candidate presented for the presidency.
