Citizen TV news anchor Trevor Ombija is gearing up for a tough political race, if his latest moves are any indication.

The media personality has been eying for a political seat, which is not a secret.

Will Trevor Ombija be the next Nyakach MP?

As a member of the Media Council of Kenya, one is not allowed to declare interest in a political seat while still in practice, but there are ways of doing so without word of mouth, and Ombija has seemingly resorted to this.

Speaking in Nyakach during the funeral of Kisumu senator Tom Ojienda's mother, the journalist confirmed the rumoured reports about him going for the Nyakach parliamentary seat.

"I have offered my sincere condolences to my friend Tom Ojienda. I will not say much because of time. To the Nyakach people, I only have two requests. Let's embrace development without chaos. The difference in ideologies is not enmity. Do you agree or not? If the whistle is blown for the race to start, is there anyone who can run faster than a dog?" Ombija said in a video shared by News One Kenya.
