Updated October 9, 2026

Citizen TV journalist John Wanyama resigned from Royal Media Services (RMS) to pursue the Malava parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Election, according to reports published after his departure. His resignation notice was dated July 3, 2026, and his last working day was reported as August 4.

What is known about his plans

Wanyama said he was leaving journalism to seek public office in Malava Constituency. As of October 9, we have not verified a formal party nomination or IEBC clearance. Declaring an intention to contest does not itself make someone an official candidate; party nominations and the election authority’s clearance come later.
