the ODM ticket and the first Muslim to vie for the presidency of the republic of Kenya; as the topmost Islamic clerics and leadership beseeched upon Nazlin to do so and the first such rally where she declared her bid was held in Nyanza province in Kisumu city at the Jomo Kenyatta sports grounds which was arranged by her network of supporters in Nyanza province in her honor. Nazlin was the sole female candidate to declare and made history once again to be the first Muslim woman to run for Presidency in Africa and the first Muslim to vie for the presidency in Kenya when she applied for and was cleared by the Electoral commission of Kenya in the year 2007.
This was later followed by about forty rallies and meet-the-people tours throughout the far-reaches of the Nation. Starting with Lamu to seek leave from the topmost Islamic clerics who publicly rallied behind her and issued a decree (fatwa) that Nazlin must run for the presidency and that the Muslim’s would vote for her as a block vote. This Islamic decree (fatwa) was to resound throughout the Nations Islamic clerics who supported the fatwa and publicly declared their support and that of the Muslim block vote to her, from the far ends of the region and who were representative of all communities in Kenya.
Nazlin’s presidential candidature as a Muslim woman was the first time for a Muslim woman in Africa and was profiled by the media throughout Africa and other parts of the world which highlighted her development achievements in the nation and outside.
Nazlin’s declaration for the Presidency in Kenya has been spurned out of Public demand and out of a feeling of hopelessness for a glaring lack of true, selfless, committed and visionary leadership, excessive abuse of the Law, absence of social justice in Kenya to deliver development, social Justice and true democracy to the Nation. Nazlin’s popularity in the grassroots in Kenya is immense and meets demands for constant ‘meet and talk to the people tours’ out of public demand throughout Kenya.
Nazlin’s strength to mobilize her grassroots support into votes is profound in that she is the only presidential candidate or national leader with a mammoth grassroots network spreading throughout Kenya, the only leader with a national network and working strategy of poverty reduction effected through the hundreds of local income generating activities she has initiated and assisted to realize, the only candidate to form, mobilize, strengthen and run grassroots networks encapsulated into a formidable national force to address local concerns and priority issues throughout Kenya and the leadership, democracy, HIV/AIDS, Gender & youth trainings she has conducted throughout Kenya for grassroots and national leadership from all walks of life. Nazlin’s declaration has prompted coverage and profiles once more in leading print and electronic media in Kenya, including regional and national Live Radio and television interviews on leading chat shows, through which the public have declared their support to her Presidential declaration and shown impressive public support and enthusiasm in Nazlin’s declaration for the presidency of Kenya and her Vision of the country she loves and to which she has committed her life to.
