Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has addressed the concerns about him vying for the presidency in 2027.
This is after a section of Kenyans put pressure on him to state whether he will vie for the presidency in the 2027 general election.
Omtatah said that he will not rule himself out for the race if Kenyans view him as the best candidate.
He, however, insisted that the focus should now be on bettering the country.
"If I have to go for the presidency, I'm a politician and I don't rule anything out. If I go for the presidency it must be a candidature which is very well managed and one that has got clear deliverables," he said.
Omtatah said should he get an opportunity to form a government, he will ensure it succeeds because he doesn't want to be part of a failure.
"It must not be about me, it must be about Kenya and how do we get our country back. There must be a proper vehicle for delivering this country and if it comes out that I'm the best driver for that vehicle so be it, but if there is a better driver than me, I will still support that better leader," Omtatah added.
The Busia senator said that Kenyans should focus on what needs to be done to better the country rather than who should be the President.
Senator Omtatah said the country must implement the rule of law, especially at this time.
"It must not be about individuals, it must be about change in this country and if there is a proper organisation then many people can become president in this country," he said.
Omtatah was speaking on Sunday at Uhuru Park during the Shujaaz Memorial Concert.
The legislator said it is not too early to discuss 2027 politics however, Kenyans should work on bettering the country.
"It should not be another personality, it should be about the people moving across the threshold of bad leadership ushering a new era," he said.
Earlier on Sunday, while speaking in an X Space Omatath encouraged the Gen Zs not to lose hope and fight for the liberation of the country.
"I'm ready to be led by the young people and the visions you have some of us may not understand because you have grown up in a different environment and you have had an education that is broader than what some of us have had," Omtatah said.
"I'm ready to be led by you, we want our country back, please Gen Zs and Millennials help us get it back. In every liberation, it is the youth who go to war."
On Sunday, Omtatah attended the Shujaaz Memorial Concert in honour of protesters who died during the anti-Finance Bill demonstrations these past two weeks.
Omtatah was one of the most vocal leaders to oppose the now-impugned Finance Bill, 2024
That he is a darling of the people was evident from the way he was received at the memorial concert to loud cheers.
Some of his peers in the National Assembly who supported the Bill have had hostile reception at public events.
Footage shared on X showed Omtatah being mobbed by a crowd as the others made way for him to pass upon arrival at Uhuru Park.
He climbed on the stage, waved to the crowd and danced in sync with Eric Wainaina's 'Nchi ya Kitu Kidogo' song to wild cheers from Kenyans.
