Mohammed Abduba Dida (born 1974) is a Kenyan teacher who vied for the country's presidency in the 2013 General Election on an Alliance of Real Change party ticket.[1] Dida ran again in the 2017 General Election, conceding hours before the election was called in favour of the incumbent; President Uhuru Kenyatta, but at the same time calling into question the integrity of the election and the conduct of the two main political parties; Jubilee and Nasa.

Dida was not well known prior to his presentation of papers to the IEBC.[2] He previously taught English Literature and Religion at Lenana School and Daadab Secondary School at the refugee camp. In 2013, Dida garnered 52,848 votes representing 0.43% of the popular vote.
