Azimio leader Raila Odinga's staunch supporter Nuru Okanga has spoken hours after finishing his Kenya Certificate of Primary Education examinations.
Okanga was among the KCPE candidates who sat their 2023 exams which began on Monday.
In a statement on his Facebook Page, Okanga said that he believes the long and sleepless nights he put through the exam period will not be in vain.
"Finally the long journey has come to an end but also marks the beginning of another journey. It has not been easy I have received hate and love in equal measures the long sleepless nights I have spent I know are not in vain," he said.
Okanga is famously known for supporting Raila when he called for Kenyans to join in anti-government protests.
Okanga, however, regretted the bullying he received online but maintained he would not be cowed.
"When I started my political journey and supporting my president Raila, I went through a lot. I was jailed, and received a lot of threats, cyberbullying and physical attacks but that didn't kill my dream," he said.
The Azimio supporter thanked Raila and other leaders for their support.
"My people from Kholera ward thank you so much. 2027 here we come! I will be addressing the nation soon."
He was among Azimio supporters who were arrested in March ahead of a planned protest.
They were accused of intending to cause disorder through a breach of peace in Nairobi with the sole intent of causing instability and malicious property damage.
In court papers, the police said the trio were members of the 'Bunge la Mwananchi' and were being funded to cause the breach of peace.
The court, however, castigated the police for instituting the arrests without conducting investigations into the alleged crimes.
They were released on Sh1,000 cash bail each.
