Kenyan Governor Congratulates Minnesota Governor Walz on nomination

Princeton, NJ- August 8, 2024: In a show of international solidarity, Kisumu County Governor Professor Peter Anyang' Nyong'o extended his congratulations to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on his recent nomination as the vice-presidential candidate for the Democratic Party in the United States. The announcement, made by U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, has been met with praise from various global leaders, with Governor Nyong'o being one of the first to publicly express his support.

In an official statement released on August 6, 2024, Governor Nyong'o lauded Governor Walz's leadership, particularly highlighting his progressive policies and achievements in Minnesota. "Your record as a progressive leader in the US speaks for itself," Nyong'o said. "What you have achieved in Minnesota as a Governor is the envy of many across the world."

Nyong'o emphasized the significance of Walz's nomination, stating that his reputation for caring for the underprivileged, both in policy-making and the implementation of public programs, adds substantial credibility to the Democratic ticket. "You bring substantial credibility to the ticket, as one who cares for the downtrodden, both in policy making and in the actual implementation of public programmes," he noted.

The Kenyan governor also offered his blessings for the upcoming campaign, expressing hope for a successful outcome in the November presidential elections. "May the good Lord bless both of you as you cruise towards the finishing line in November," Nyong'o concluded.

Governor Walz's nomination as Harris's running mate marks a significant moment in the 2024 U.S. presidential race, as the Democratic Party seeks to solidify its position ahead of the elections. Walz, who has served as the Governor of Minnesota since 2019, is known for his commitment to social justice, healthcare, and education reforms—key issues that resonate with the Democratic electorate.

The international support from leaders like Governor Nyong'o highlights the global interest in the U.S. presidential race and the potential implications of its outcome on international relations. As the campaign progresses, more world leaders are expected to weigh in on the U.S. elections, reflecting the interconnected nature of global politics today.
