Kitui County gubernatorial hopeful Makali Mulu has been described as the most preferred candidate on the Wiper Democratic Movement ticket ahead of the 2027 General Election, according to growing sentiments from residents and local leaders.
A cross-section of constituents across Kitui has expressed confidence in Dr. Mulu’s leadership, citing his track record, integrity, and consistency in public service as key factors influencing their support. Many have pointed to his long-standing role in national governance and his reputation for accountability as qualities that set him apart from his competitors within the party.
Political observers note that his appeal cuts across different demographics, with youth, professionals, and grassroots leaders increasingly rallying behind his bid. His development-focused agenda, particularly in economic empowerment, education, and infrastructure, has also resonated with voters seeking transformative leadership in the county.
Supporters argue that Dr. Mulu’s experience in handling public finance and policy positions him well to steer Kitui towards sustainable growth, should he secure the party’s nomination and eventually win the gubernatorial seat.

As the political landscape in Kitui continues to take shape, attention now turns to how the Wiper party will manage its nominations, with several aspirants expected to battle it out for the ticket in what is shaping up to be a competitive race.
Dr. Mulu has yet to formally respond to the latest endorsements, but his allies maintain that he remains focused on engaging residents and refining his development blueprint for the county.
