Recently sections of Kenyan opinion leaders and workers’ groups have endorsed him as a potential presidential candidate in the 2027 general elections.
He will be seeking the seat of Presidency on National Vision party which is led by Engineer Antony Chelimo.
Branding himself as a “clean” leader, Kinity has pledged to confront entrenched corruption, address unemployment, and resolve longstanding land injustices.
