VIDEO: Teacher Hits Campaign Trail On His Bicycle, Wants Nakuru Governorship

As other applicants eyeing the Nakuru governor seat use billboards, vehicles and bills to crusade, 26- time-old Ibrahim Karanja moves around on his bike.

Mr Karanja wakes up at 6 am and starts cycling to several places within the county on a match the people stint.

While other campaigners have billboards placed in strategic locales across the county’s 11 constituencies, he has none except one bill mounted on his bike.

Mr Karanja, a schoolteacher, holds a Bachelorette’s Degree in Education, Mathematics and Biology from Chuka University.

He’s presently pursuing Masters in Leadership.

The Standard caught up with him on Saturday morning as he was cycling along the busy Kenyatta Avenue in Nakuru city.

On the bike is a movable public address system with a pre-recorded communication contending with the residers to bounce for him.

Mr Karanja, who’s fighting as an Independent seeker hopes that his musketeers, family and sympathizers will help him raise the Sh25, freights needed by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to vie for the governor’s seat.

He revealed that he has raised the Sh2, freights needed for concurrence to vie as an independent seeker.

Mr Karanja called for reason in juggernauts, noting that numerous applicants use a lot of plutocrat during juggernauts, raising questions of how they intend to recover the same.

He decided to vie for guardianship despite being advised to go for MCA seat. The applicant promised to address issues affecting youth and women, especially severance.

Mr Karanja promised to set up Saccos to enable youth access loans to start businesses.

He noted that a graduate who wants to start a business in the county feels burdened by the capital, stock, rent, and at the same time licences.

Mr Karanja believes Wanjiku has the final say-so and indeed though he respects those supposed frontrunners in the race, he’s sure that their plutocrat and support from top politicians is nothing without Wanjiku’s blessing.

Karanja is also seeking support through social media.

Mr Derick Okumu, a occupant, said that as a youth, the applicant has challenged him not to depend on handouts to develop himself.

He prompted the youth to interrogate applicants’manifestos first rather of being swayed by handouts during juggernauts.

As Mr Karanja does another round within the city, he’s confident that his voice is being heard.
