His announcement follows the tragic assassination of the former MP on April 30, 2025, which left the Kasipul constituency in mourning and without representation.
At only 27, Boyd brings a blend of youthful energy, academic achievement, and public service exposure.
He currently works at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), where he has gained experience in taxation and policy, strengthening Kenya’s economic systems.
His background in finance is seen as a solid foundation for effective leadership and public administration.
Born on April 22, 1998, Boyd grew up in a politically active home. Watching his father serve shaped his values and interest in civic leadership.
His educational journey began at Kanyakine Boys Boarding Primary School and continued at St. Patrick’s High School, G-Senior.
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the Cooperative University of Kenya and is pursuing a Master’s in Commerce (Finance and Investment) at KCA University.
Boyd believes his father’s legacy should not end with his death.
“I watched my father serve this community with heart and honour. I’m stepping forward to continue that mission with the same passion and discipline,” he told TUKO.co.ke.
His candidacy has added to a growing list of aspirants, including Philip Aroko, Newton Ogada, and Robert “Money Bior” Ajwang’.
However, Boyd’s entry also introduces a generational shift, as residents weigh the importance of continuity versus new leadership.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) may support Boyd as its preferred candidate.
Party leaders, including Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma and Kasipul ODM chair Evans Ndege, have expressed interest in keeping the seat within the late MP’s family.
Insiders suggest ODM sees Boyd as the ideal figure to carry on his father’s development legacy.
