Former Chief Justice David Maraga has officially launched a new political party, the United for Good Movement (UGM), declaring himself the party’s presidential flag bearer for the 2027 general elections.
The announcement marks Maraga’s bold entry into politics after years of speculation about his ambitions. Supporters say UGM will stand for integrity, rule of law, and service delivery, seeking to distinguish itself from traditional political parties often marred by drama and personality clashes.
UGM’s Vision
According to Maraga and his team, UGM’s mission is rooted in clean leadership, constitutionalism, and citizen-centered service. The party is promising job creation, reduction in the cost of living, and efficient public services.
UGM also pledges to uphold discipline and accountability in governance, while restoring trust in public institutions through transparent and ethical leadership.
The Road to 2027
Maraga’s entry shakes up the 2027 presidential race, where he will likely face heavyweights from established political coalitions. Political analysts say his judicial legacy and reputation for integrity could appeal to voters seeking an alternative to Kenya’s traditional political class.
The party is expected to roll out grassroots mobilization and policy discussions in the coming months as it builds its national presence.
