Makali or Ngilu? MP Mwalika Torn as 2027 Race Heats Up

Kitui Rural MP Hon. David Mwalika finds himself at a political crossroads as the 2027 gubernatorial race begins to take shape. The MP is reportedly torn between endorsing former Governor Charity Ngilu and Kitui Central MP Dr. Makali Mulu—both of whom are emerging as frontrunners.

The division is mirrored on the ground, with constituents split in their support. While some rally behind Ngilu, citing her experience and development track record, others are pushing for Dr. Mulu, pointing to his consistency and technocratic appeal.

As political alignments continue to shift, all eyes remain on Mwalika’s next move, which could significantly influence the county’s political landscape.
