A statement sent from Nyachae and Company Advocates, said the Ford People leader will present his papers on Tuesday at County Hall at 10.00 AM.
Nyachae will thereafter address a public rally at the City Stadium, from where he will launch his campaign blitz across the country.
Kanu and Narc leaders will also hold rallies at Uhuru Park and Nyayo Stadium respectively after presenting their papers on November 18.
"The campaign will enable him visit all the seven provinces of the country to physically discuss his contract with Kenyans," said Nyachae's statement.
The highlight of the meeting at the City Stadium, the statement said, will be to begin his dialogue with the people of Kenya.
He will also outline the difference that a Ford-P government will make from other parties on offer.
And on the campaign trail, Nyachae unleashed a scathing attack against the media, report Evans Nyakundi and Robert Nyasato.
Launching his presidential campaign on his home turf, Nyachae said the media were partisan in the succession debate.
Nyachae, who arrived at the Nyamira playgrounds shortly after, 11.30 am in two helicopters was escorted by over 20 former MPs.
He said the media had reduced him to a tribal presidential candidate.
He said the media were promoting tribalism by always referring to him as coming from the Kisii community where he only enjoys his support.
He told the media to stop being biased but be nationalistic in their reporting.
"I wonder why the media are always targeting me by giving me negative coverage and distortion of information and do not do the same to other presidential candidates," he said.
Nyachae said a section of the Press was playing certain games in the transition politics and asked them to chart a middle ground.
