Narok Senator Ledama Olekina has announced his intention to contest the presidency in the 2032 General Election, declaring that his political ambitions extend beyond his current role in the Senate.

Speaking during an interview with Citizen TV on Sunday, November 8, 2026, Olekina said he would first seek re-election as Narok Senator in the 2027 General Election, describing the seat as part of a broader political journey towards national leadership.

The senator maintained that although he had no immediate plans to seek the Narok gubernatorial seat, he was not ruling out the possibility, arguing that his aspirations went beyond county-level leadership.

“I am going to be seeking re-election for my seat as the senator of Narok County, but it is just a stepping stone to other bigger things. In the future, I am definitely going to be running for president,” Olekina said.

“I didn’t say I was running for governor; nothing stops me from running for governor, but I think my ambitions are much bigger than just being a chairman of a county council because that is what I equate governors to be. I have a bigger agenda for this country,” he stated.

Olekina went on to make his presidential intentions clear, insisting that Kenyans would see his name on the ballot in 2032.

“You will see Ledama’s name on the ballot in 2032,” he declared.

The Narok senator also expressed confidence in President William Ruto’s chances of retaining the presidency, dismissing the possibility of the Head of State losing the next election.

He further ruled out Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna becoming the next president, taking issue with what he described as the latter’s emphasis on political rhetoric rather than service delivery.

Olekina argued that the two leaders operated in different political environments, noting that Nairobi residents had access to essential services that were still lacking in some parts of Narok County.

“I don’t believe Ruto will lose. I don’t believe Sifuna will be the next president. My good friend Sifuna can enjoy being an opposition purist because Nairobi is developed; there are hospitals in Nairobi. I don’t have that luxury,” he said.

He added that his priority was addressing the needs of his constituents through tangible development projects rather than engaging in political exchanges.

“We are in two different businesses; he is in the business of rhetoric, and I am in the business of delivery. I want to deliver for my people,” Olekina added.

His declaration places the Narok senator among leaders openly expressing long-term presidential ambitions, even as he prepares to seek another term in the Senate before the 2032 race.
