Azimio and ODM diehard supporter Nuru Okanga is among the thousands of primary school students who are sitting for the ongoing KCPE exams.
Okanga is sitting for the national examination at a school in his rural home in Mumias, Kakamega county.
Speaking to a local digital media house, Okanga said his decision to go back to class was influenced by his desire to vie for an MCA seat in 2027.
According to him, he was unable to be educated before since his father passed away when he was still young. He dropped out of school while in class three.
“Jinsi tu niliambia watu wangu ya kwamba leo siku ya Monday ntakalia mtihani nashukuru Mungu nimeamka mzima nikafika shule mapema na mtihani imeanza leo, tumeanza na somo la hesabu.
“Mimi nimeamua kufanya Standard Eight ili nikue na certificate kwa sababu 2027 niko kwa ballot na baba yangu alikufa mapema sikueza kusoma. Nimeona nirudi nifanye mtihani nitafte karatasi kwa sababu MCA inahitajika ukue na certificate ya Standard Eight usimame upitishwe na IEBC, ” the 32-year old said.
He added that he will be content with 290-300 marks.
