Former Kitui Senatorial candidate Hon. Stephen Kilonzo, popularly known as Kitundumo, has sent shockwaves across the political landscape of Kitui Central following his bold declaration to contest for the parliamentary seat in 2027. His announcement has left other aspirants reeling and rethinking their ambitions.
With the incumbent MP Dr. Makali Mulu poised to run for Kitui Governor after a decade in Parliament, Kilonzo’s entry into the race has unsettled many who were eyeing the seat. Speaking exclusively to TCD Digital, Kilonzo confidently stated that he is prepared to “bring the seat home” and challenged all other contenders to brace for a tough political battle.
According to political analysts, Kilonzo’s name recognition, grassroots network, and likely backing from leading parties like Wiper, Narc, or DCP position him as a front-runner. Observers believe that his candidacy could render the race a one-horse contest. “The rest should rethink their strategies or risk wasting time and resources,” one analyst remarked.
As 2027 draws closer, Kitui Central is shaping up to be a hotbed of political drama — but for now, all eyes are on the man many already call the MP-in-waiting.
