Hon Ndingo, Nganga, Yaamu, Sonko among Few Sitting Ward Reps Safe in 2027 as Political Tide Shifts

As the 2027 General Election draws closer, a silent storm is brewing in Kitui County’s political landscape, with most sitting Members of County Assembly (MCAs) facing growing uncertainty about their re-election chances.

Whispers from the grassroots and insights from political observers paint a grim picture for many incumbents, with only a select few being touted as front-runners to retain their seats. These few have managed to remain politically visible, development-focused, and in touch with the electorate — qualities that seem to be resonating well with the people.

According to credible sources, the MCAs seen as most likely to weather the coming political storm include:

• ✅ Hon. Mark Ndingo – Yatta/Kwa Vonza Ward
• ✅ Hon. Alex Ng’ang’a – Miambani Ward
• ✅ Hon. Sylvester Kitheka – Matinyani Ward
• ✅ Hon. Dominic Mwamisi – Mutha Ward
• ✅ Hon. Nicholas Mutemi – Kisasi Ward
• ✅ Hon. Jeremia – Nguni Ward
• ✅ Hon. Sonko – Ikanga/Kyatune Ward
• ✅ Hon. Mamen – Nzambani Ward
• Gabriel Munyao – kauwi Ward.

These MCAs are praised for their consistent engagement with residents, active participation in ward development initiatives, and ability to navigate party and assembly politics without alienating their constituen

In contrast, a significant number of MCAs are reportedly on the brink of political extinction, with mounting criticism over unmet campaign pledges, invisibility in their wards, and weak delivery records. Voters across several wards are said to be demanding more accountability and transparency — a warning sign that complacency may no longer be tolerated.

As political realignments begin and aspirants quietly prepare to enter the race, the heat is already being felt on the ground. Many MCAs are now rushing to revive their grassroots networks in a bid to survive the looming political purge.
