Jalang’o, the Lang’ata Member of Parliament (MP), has recently expressed his ambition to run for the presidential seat in the future. He hopes to make history as the first president from the Luo community if Raila Odinga fails to secure the presidency in the 2027 election. Jalang’o made this announcement during an interview with Cynthia Mwangi, the host of Behind the Mic.
Although he is open to exploring different electoral positions, Jalang’o hopes to be in a position where he can make a positive impact on people’s lives. He is determined to change the lives of the people of Lang’ata, and he intends to do so even if it means enduring criticism and derision. He remains committed to fulfilling his commitments to Lang’ata residents.
Jalang’o is aware that some people view him as a traitor for working with the government. However, he believes that his loyalty to Raila is indisputable, and he should not be seen as a traitor by the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party. He hopes that the people of Lang’ata will give him a scorecard at the end of his term to evaluate his performance.
Jalang’o understands that politics is a long journey, and things can change quickly. He is willing to take on different electoral positions to fulfill his ambitions, but his ultimate goal is to make a positive impact on people’s lives. He has a clear conscience and is committed to delivering on his promises to the people of Lang’ata.
Jalang’o hopes to be the Commander in Chief one day, and he is determined to make history as the first president from the Luo community. He believes that with hard work, dedication, and commitment, he can make a positive impact on the lives of Kenyans.
