“I am excited to begin my US tour from 17th September to 5th October 2026, visiting Washington DC, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Minnesota, Georgia, Houston, and Dallas,” he said.

“To all Kenyans in the diaspora across these states, I invite you to come out, engage, and share your vision for Kenya. Together, let us build a nation anchored on faith, integrity, and service to all.”

The tour marks the latest phase of Maraga’s efforts to build a national campaign ahead of the 2027 General Election, after months of traversing the country under the Ukatiba Caravan.

Between February and April, the former Chief Justice travelled by road to 43 of Kenya’s 47 counties, engaging residents on governance, constitutionalism and voter registration. Maraga said the caravan was intended to give him an opportunity to listen directly to Kenyans rather than rely on political rallies alone.

The nationwide tour took him through different regions, including the Coast and northern Kenya. By February, he had visited Mombasa, Kilifi, Lamu, Kwale, Tana River, Garissa, Wajir, Isiolo and Meru, among other counties.

In Wajir, where UGM opened a county office, Maraga said the party was moving around the country to listen to wananchi and understand their concerns about governance and development.
