Good governance
Comprehensive audits of public funds, and synergy across the Judiciary, the DPP, the DCI and the EACC so that fighting corruption is coordinated rather than scattered. Corruption, in her words, will be a no-go zone.
Independent candidate for President · Kenya 2027
A government where all Kenyans matter equally
Running independently is not about being different for the sake of it. It is about a new model of leadership — free of party-driven conflict, and answerable to citizens rather than party interests.
- Good governance
- Economic recovery
- Social justice

“Do not elect leaders simply because they are handing out money. Look for a leader who will carry you on her shoulders, who will stand with you in both thought and action.”
About
Who is Esther Waringa
Esther Waringa is a strategic management specialist who has spent her career inside institutions that work where policy meets people — the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and Plan International.
She first sought the presidency in 2022, and treats that campaign as an education rather than a footnote. The lessons she draws from it are unsentimental: timing matters and so does your team; people must feel you at the grassroots, in their communities; planning has to reach from the national level down to constituencies and villages; and resource mobilisation cannot be underestimated.
She is running independently by conviction rather than circumstance. Today, she argues, every village seems to have a political party, and people are judged on their affiliations rather than their abilities or character — a politics that has grown rivalries, threats and hatred. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 permits any citizen to stand as an independent; she intends to show it is not only possible but effective.
Planning for 2027 began almost two years out. Presidential coordination teams now run from the national level down through counties, constituencies and villages, behind a market-to-market, shop-to-shop, village-to-village, door-to-door engagement strategy, with faith-based groups, youth and women’s groups engaged directly.
The manifesto
Three pillars
Economic recovery
VAT stepped down from 16 to seven per cent, energy costs brought down so manufacturing, food and transport follow, industrialisation from the first 100 days, and agriculture depoliticised entirely.
Social justice
Security agencies trained and equipped to protect rather than violate, accountability for the ‘big fish’ and the ‘small fish’ alike, and femicide and gender-based violence treated as a national emergency.
Non-negotiable
The first 100 days
Restore integrity and accountability
Immediate public audits of key ministries and state corporations, stronger independent oversight institutions, and clear performance contracts for every senior public official.
Ease the cost of living
Urgent measures to stabilise food and energy prices, support for farmers and small businesses, and a streamlining of the taxes that fall hardest on ordinary citizens.
Reset the social contract
A structured national dialogue bringing together counties, youth, women, faith leaders, business people, workers, the private sector and civil society.
