Thirdway Alliance says it won’t have a Presidential Candidate in 2022

According to the Party Secretary-General Fredrick Okango, he said in a statement on Monday that instead, the party will field candidates in all the other elective positions in a bid to foster partnerships with like-minded political parties.

“A majority of Kenyans believe that diversity is our greatest strength. That protest is among the highest forms of patriotism. That our fates and fortunes are bound to rise and fall together. That even when we fall short of our highest ideals," he said.

"We never stop trying to build a more perfect union hence the reason we as Thirdway Alliance Kenya will NOT be fielding a Presidential candidate in 2022 but rather, we will be fielding candidates."

In the 2017 presidential elections, Thirdway alliance party flag bearer Ekuru Aukot got 21,333 votes only, equal to 0.28 percent of the total votes that were cast.

The Secretary-General said the call for the aspirants who will be seeking various elective positions apart from the top seat in the country using the party ticket is already out.

As the countdown to the next general elections continues and political parties seeking to re-align, Thirdway has not been left behind.
