As the leader of the Green Thinking Action Party, the most powerful and influential Green party in Kenya and the region, I watched the past two days unfold with immense hope. Our party is not just another political outfit - it is the nation's conscience, the voice that speaks when others hesitate, and the vision that sees beyond the next election.
We do not chase power; we champion leadership that protects the land, empowers people, and secures a sustainable future. Had Kenya embraced Green Thinking earlier, this Ruto-Raila alliance would have been formed immediately after the 2022 elections. Because one truth stands above all: a nation can never be truly united unless its leaders are united for a common purpose. Kenya has endured years of political rivalries escalating into crises, with economic hardship, ethnic divisions, and policy stagnation as collateral damage. The handshake is not just a political event but a reckoning moment. Individuals may win elections, but nations are built through collective leadership.
