As the 2027 general elections approach, Kitui County is witnessing heightened political activity, particularly within the Wiper Democratic Movement. Governor Julius Malombe has publicly declared his intention to seek re-election, aiming to continue his development agenda for the county.
However, the race for the Wiper party’s gubernatorial ticket is intensifying. Kitui Central MP Dr. Makali Mulu, Senator Enoch Wambua, and Woman Representative Irene Kasalu have all expressed interest in vying for the position, setting the stage for a competitive nomination process.
Adding to the political dynamics, former Governor Charity Ngilu has announced her intention to reclaim the seat she previously held, further complicating the race.
The Wiper party leadership faces the challenge of managing internal competition while maintaining unity. Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has expressed confidence in Wiper forming the next government in 2027, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning and cohesion within the party.
As the political landscape in Kitui evolves, residents and stakeholders are keenly observing how these developments will shape the county’s future leadership and governance.
