The political discussions around the 2027 gubernatorial race gather momentum, supporters of Kitui Central MP Dr. Makali Mulu are increasingly presenting him as the ideal candidate to succeed Governor Dr. Julius Malombe and build on his administration’s development agenda.
They argue that Malombe’s tenure, marked by the implementation of more than 3,000 projects across the county, requires a leader with proven experience and a clear understanding of the county’s development blueprint.
According to his backers, Dr. Makali has demonstrated a strong commitment to service delivery through his work in Parliament and various grassroots initiatives. They point to education support programs, bursary schemes, classroom construction projects, and youth empowerment efforts as evidence of his ability to deliver tangible results. Supporters say these achievements reflect the same development-focused leadership style that has characterized Malombe’s administration.
The MP’s allies further maintain that Kitui needs continuity rather than a complete shift in direction. They say Makali is well-positioned to consolidate ongoing projects, address existing gaps, and expand access to essential services across the county.
Citing his calm and inclusive leadership approach, supporters argue that he has gained acceptance across different regions of Kitui and can provide the unity and stability needed to steer the county into its next phase of development. As the race for 2027 gradually takes shape, Dr. Makali Mulu continues to emerge as one of the names attracting significant attention in the county’s political landscape.
