On Monday, May 30, 2022, Roots Party presidential aspirant George Wajackoyah arrived at the Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi, donning a red durag, for a meeting with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). However, he was turned away due to his failure to submit the required number of supporters' signatures.
Wajackoyah had a full list of supporters from 17 counties, but fell short of the required 24. He has until Thursday to submit signatures from the remaining seven counties.
The 61-year-old professor, born in Western Kenya, is seeking to be Kenya's fifth president. His position on wanting to legalize weed has caused a storm on social media, but he remains determined to achieve his goal.
This is not the first time Wajackoyah has eyed the presidential seat. In 2013, he announced his intention to run for President, but bolted out at the last minute without explanation.
