Andrew Kibe claims Maraga can’t deliver votes, says he could outshine him at the ballot
Andrew Kibe has said that the former Chief Justice David Maraga cannot deliver votes and even claimed he would match him or beat him at the ballot.
In a YouTube interview on Monday, November 24, 2025, Kibe questioned Maraga’s political weight and argued that he does not see him bringing anything strong to a race.

Kibe said, “Sifuna is not there yet. What is Maraga going to bring? Me and Maraga…we are going to get the same number of votes. I might even get more votes than Maraga. Maraga is not a real ticket.”
He explained that the problem will not only be about endorsements but also about who can actually move voters. Kibe said Kalonzo will still face a big task when picking a running mate, calling it the “kizungumkuti” that will shape the entire plan.
He also compared the strength of other political figures and said that Jimmy Wanjigi can be powerful, but needs someone who can push with him.
Kibe said, “Jimmy Wanjigi can be a beast, but he needs a worker behind him. You see the way Raila said Kibaki tosha, Jimmi Wanjigi needs a Raila behind him.” His message showed that he believes political success depends on having the right team, not just big names.
Maraga explains why he joined the presidential race
In July 2025, Maraga shared why he decided to run for president in the next general elections. He said the pressure and frustration of young people pushed him to seek leadership so he could address their concerns.
Maraga said he was moved by what he saw happening in the country. Speaking during a live TV interview on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, Maraga said, “Last year in June, I was watching what was happening in the country, and I was troubled. On June 25, 2024, I was shocked at what I saw, just like every other Kenyan. The young people were killed for expressing themselves in the streets.”
Maraga said that moment made him feel he needed to step forward. He believes the country needs leadership that listens to the youth and protects their right to speak. His explanation came as he prepared for a long and competitive race, even as critics like Kibe continue to question his influence.
