Hon. Makali Mulu, the MP for Kitui Central, has received a significant boost in his bid for the Kitui County governorship in 2027, thanks to a rallying cry of support from the youth of Kitui Rural constituency. This enthusiastic backing was expressed during a yesterday gathering in Konza Village, where community members came together to wish nominated MCA Hon. Elizabeth Mulu a swift recovery.
The youth candidly voiced their confidence in Hon. Mulu, highlighting his proven track record of development as a key factor in their support. They emphasized that he stands out among the other contenders for the governorship, citing his effective leadership and commitment to improving the lives of residents in Kitui Central.
“We believe in Hon. Makali Mulu because he has consistently demonstrated his dedication to our community. As governor, we trust he will ensure that every part of Kitui County receives a fair share of resources, just as he has done for us,” said one young supporter.
As the political landscape for the upcoming gubernatorial race takes shape, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Hon. Mulu enjoys widespread popularity, giving him a substantial advantage over his rivals. His consistent outreach and engagement with constituents have cemented his status as a favored candidate, drawing support not only from Kitui Central but also across the entire county.
While other aspirants vie for the governorship, many are beginning to recognize the formidable challenge posed by Hon. Mulu’s deep-rooted popularity. His commitment to development has not only won him local admiration but has also instilled a sense of fear among competitors, particularly those within the Wiper party who are aware of the grassroots support he commands.
As Makali Mulu’s gubernatorial bid continues to gain momentum, his competitors appear to be recalibrating their ambitions. The growing sentiment among the electorate is that no candidate embodies the hopes and aspirations of Kitui residents better than Hon. Mulu, making him the frontrunner for the Wiper gubernatorial ticket.
With the current administration under Governor Malombe set to conclude in 2027, the stage is being set for a transformative leadership change. Many believe that Hon. Makali Mulu is the leader who can propel Kitui County forward, making him a candidate to watch as the election approaches.
As the community rallies behind him, all eyes will be on Makali Mulu to see if he can translate this grassroots support into a successful gubernatorial campaign.
