Mwalimu Reuben Kigame has officially joined the People’s Renaissance Movement (PM) Party, marking a significant milestone in his political journey as he seeks to champion values-based leadership, national unity, and people-centred governance ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The reception, held at the PM Party headquarters in Riara Gardens, Nairobi, brought together party leaders, supporters, and members who welcomed the renowned educator, musician, author, and presidential aspirant into the movement.
“Together we will build a new, united and tribeless team that promotes values, economic development and people-centred priorities,” Kigame said.
“Our nation deserves leadership that is anchored on integrity, service and the common good. This is the journey we are committing ourselves to,” he added.
The veteran gospel singer said Kenya’s future depends on leaders who are willing to rise above ethnic politics and personal interests to focus on restoring hope, strengthening institutions, creating opportunities for young people, and advancing policies that improve the lives of ordinary Kenyans.
Did People’s Renaissance Movement field a candidate in Ol Kalou by-election?
The event also celebrated Timothy Kamau, the youngest candidate in the recently concluded Ol Kalou by-election, who contested on a PM Party ticket.
Although he did not win the seat, party leaders praised his courage and determination, describing his candidacy as a demonstration of the party’s commitment to empowering young people.
“We believe young people are not the leaders of tomorrow—they are leaders today. They must be given opportunities to compete fairly, to lead, and to serve. We are proud that Timothy became the first candidate to fly the PM Party flag and remained in the race until the very end in what was a tightly contested election.” Kigame said.
Saboti Member of Parliament and PM Party founding member Caleb Amisi also welcomed Mwalimu Kigame into the party, describing his entry as a significant step in strengthening the movement ahead of the 2027 General Election.
In a statement shared on social media, Amisi expressed confidence that the partnership would help build a new political movement rooted in integrity, national unity, and economic transformation.
“Today I officially received Dr. Reuben Kigame as a member of the People’s Renaissance Movement (PM) Party – The Change We Need. Together we will work towards a new, united, tribeless team that promotes values, economic development and people-centred priorities,” Amisi said.
People’s Renaissance Movement’s political ideologies
The People’s Renaissance Movement whose tagline is “The Change We Need” says it seeks to unite Kenyans across ethnic, religious, and political divides while championing ethical leadership, accountability, social justice, and inclusive economic development.
Party leaders expressed confidence that Mwalimu Kigame’s entry into the movement will strengthen its mission of offering Kenyans a credible, values-driven alternative ahead of the 2027 General Election.
For Mwalimu Kigame, joining the PM Party is rooted in a shared philosophy of Utu (Humanity), Haki (Justice), and Maadili (Integrity), principles that have defined his public life and leadership.
He has consistently called for the dismantling of corruption, the full implementation of the Constitution, and the empowerment of every Kenyan to actively participate in shaping the nation’s future.
Kigame believes these ideals are at the heart of the People’s Renaissance Movement and provide a strong foundation for building a just, prosperous, and united Kenya where leadership is measured not by power or ethnicity, but by character, service, and accountability.
