Alex Grace Mumo:

“What if we rally behind Eric Omondi for president in 2027? Kalonzo is afraid of the seat, Matiang’i is afraid of the Subaru guys! We completely don’t have a presidential candidate ready to beat Ruto in 2027 so far... but Eric is doing a great job. Why don’t we try him? Comedian Eric Omondi for president 2027, period. Na kama sio Eric mimi na familia yangu tunafuka kwa TuTam.”
