In the charged atmosphere of recent Kenyan politics, few figures have emerged as dynamically as Kasmuel McOure. Known for his staunch opposition to the Finance Bill and active role in anti-government protests, McOure’s recent announcement to vie for political office in 2027 has injected fresh vigor into the political discourse. His plans, marked by a departure from mainstream political practices, have both intrigued and polarized the public.
During a session of the ‘Kenya We Want’ hosted by Kenyans.co.ke, McOure laid out his vision, firmly rejecting traditional political party routes. “I will not use any mainstream party to satisfy my ambitions,” he declared with conviction. This statement underscores his desire to disrupt the status quo, a consistent theme throughout his activism.
While McOure has yet to specify the exact position he will seek, his ambitions are clear. Whether aiming for a legislative seat or an executive role, his determination to effect change is unwavering. “I will be vying in 2027,” he asserted, leaving the specifics of his campaign strategy to be unveiled in due course.
McOure’s plans have sparked discussions about the necessity of registering new political parties, particularly one that resonates with the youth, such as the proposed Gen Z Party. However, McOure offers a different perspective. “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 highlights his belief in the power of grassroots movements over formal party structures.
