Peter Kagwanja: I supported Azimio because of my wife

The political commentator added that most of the politicians lacked the freedom of choice and that most were afraid of political witch-hunt by their respective sponsor parties.
On April, 23 2022, Kagwanja announced bowing out of politics after he failed to clinch the Jubilee Party ticket to vie for Murang'a senatorial seat.

He said although he was not satisfied with the party's decision, he accepted out of respect he has to the Head of State President Uhuru Kenyatta, arguing he would not vie for the seat as an independent candidate either.

"I will not vie as an independent candidate as many of my supporters are pushing me to do. I want to be out of politics and support development in the county," said Kagwanja.
