Activist Kasmuel McOure Confirms To Throw Weight In The 2027 Election
Few figures in Kenyan politics have emerged as dynamically as Kasmuel McOure in recent years.
McOure, who is well-known for his staunch opposition to the Finance Bill and his involvement in various anti-government protests, recently announced his intention to run for political office in 2027, injecting new energy into the political debate.
His plans, which differ from mainstream political practices, have piqued the public’s interest while also polarising it.
During a ‘Kenya We Want’ session hosted by Kenyans.co.ke, McOure laid out his vision, rejecting traditional political party routes.
I am sick and tired of us electing clowns. It is time for good men to step into the race so that we have more options. I will vie in 2027 – Kasmuel McOure @_KasKazini pic.twitter.com/DSH89TIisJ

“I will not use any mainstream party to satisfy my ambitions,” he declared with conviction.
“I will be vying in 2027,” he asserted, leaving the specifics of his campaign strategy to be unveiled in due course.
This statement reflects his desire to challenge the status quo, a theme that runs throughout his activism.
While McOure has yet to specify the exact position he seeks, his goals are clear.
Whether he seeks a legislative seat or an executive position, his determination to effect change is unwavering.
“We are not necessarily in an ideological exercise in terms of campaigns; that is what the political class is doing. What we are doing, we are clamoring for change,” he stated.
His potential candidacy, whether in Nairobi or on a national scale, promises to be a significant departure from traditional political paths.
McOure’s rhetoric reflects a sense of urgency and disillusionment with the current political landscape.
“This is a thing I did not say just suddenly. I have said this since 2022. Because that’s when I came of age, and I said in the next election, I am just sick and tired of electing clowns,” McOure emphasized.
His disdain for the current political framework is palpable, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction among Kenyans.

His involvement in protests is motivated by a strong desire to change the system.
“We have consistently been forced into a false dilemma. We don’t even have three or six candidates. It has always been a race of two. We are always choosing the lesser evil,” he argued.
This sentiment is shared by a sizable portion of the electorate, who are fed up with cyclical political disappointments.
McOure’s plans have sparked debate about the importance of forming new political parties, particularly those that resonate with young people, such as the proposed Gen Z Party. However, McOure holds a different viewpoint.
“We don’t need to register a political party called Gen Z. I could even move as ‘The Vegans of Nairobi’ or ‘Mango Eaters Associations’. If my party is for the people, the people will vote me in,” he contended.
His stance demonstrates his belief in the strength of grassroots movements over formal party structures.
This strategy is both innovative and risky. It challenges Kenyan politics’ entrenched norms, which frequently determine success based on party affiliation.
McOure’s strategy is based on mobilising a disenfranchised electorate that is increasingly dissatisfied with traditional parties.
