David Maraga has kicked off his public engagement drive  to seek support for his 2027 presidential bid, with Kwale county being the retired Chief Justice’s first stop for three days.

The Coastal visit comes days after his arrival in the country from Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania where he observed the formal reading of charges by the Prosecution against leader of main opposition party, CHADEMA, Tundu Lissu.

According to a statement from the Maraga ’27 Presidential Campaign Secretariat the public engagements are part of his consultations on resetting Kenya to the rule of law, rebuilding the economy and restoring dignity and humanity.

“During this visit, he will hold meetings in Matuga and Lunga Lunga constituencies on May 23; Kinango constituency on May 24 and Msambweni and Matuga constituencies on May 25,” the secretariat said, adding that Maraga will also hold a press engagement during the visit.

The ex CJ in March this year publicly declared his intention to run for the presidency in 2027 and emphasised his readiness to initiate change, while dismissing claims that he is a government project.
