On June 16, 2026, Maraga formally entered the 2027
presidential race through his United Green Movement party, blasting President
William Ruto's administration for corruption and debt nearing 13 trillion
shillings.
The former Chief Justice, known for annulling Uhuru
Kenyatta's 2017 reelection, highlighted his scandal-free record and challenged
all candidates—including Ruto—to disclose their assets.
Supporters praised his integrity and reform history, while critics like lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi questioned his wealth sources; Maraga's campaign relies on public M-Pesa donations for grassroots accountability.
