Mulila Is Not a Push-Over,” Kalonzo Warns Wiper Team as Gubernatorial Race Heats Up

By kyoneka Anegwe.

Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has reportedly cautioned his inner circle and gubernatorial hopefuls not to underestimate Nicholas Mulila, emphasizing that “Mulila is not a push-over” in the battle to succeed Governor Dr. Julius Makau Malombe. Acknowledging the growing grassroots momentum behind Mulila’s campaign, Kalonzo is said to have urged Wiper candidates to prepare for a highly competitive race ahead of the 2027 general election.

Mulila’s gubernatorial bid continues to gain impressive traction across Kitui County, with Kitui West, Kitui East, Kitui Rural, Mwingi Central, and Kitui South now emerging as key strongholds. His rising influence has reportedly stirred growing concern among top Wiper aspirants, with insiders close to Kalonzo noting that Mulila’s popularity is increasingly shifting the political conversation on the ground.

A high-ranking corporate executive and respected technocrat, Nicholas Mulila has steadily built a reputation as a credible and forward-thinking leader. His deep-rooted engagement with the grassroots, strategic messaging, and focus on transformative development have endeared him to a broad base of voters across the county.

Political analysts and party insiders say Mulila’s rapid ascent has forced the Wiper leadership to re-evaluate its game plan. “He is a voice to reckon with in Kitui,” remarked a senior Wiper strategist. “His people-centered approach is resonating even in areas long considered Wiper strongholds.”

As the 2027 elections draw closer, Nicholas Mulila’s expanding support base signals a potential shake-up in Kitui’s political landscape. His campaign, built on pillars of accountability, innovation, and inclusive development, continues to gather momentum and redefine the county’s leadership discourse.
