Kitui Central Member of Parliament, Dr. Makali Mulu, has sent political shockwaves across the county after boldly declaring his intention to vie for the Kitui Governor seat in the 2027 general election.
Speaking during a live interview on Musyi FM’s popular morning talk show, the long-serving Wiper MP confidently told listeners, “I’m your next Governor, God willing.” The statement has since gone viral, igniting fresh debate around the county’s succession politics.
Dr. Mulu, a respected economist and seasoned legislator, is positioning himself as the natural successor to Governor Dr. Julius Makau Malombe, whose second and final term ends in 2027. Known for his soft-spoken demeanor and deep policy knowledge, Mulu now appears ready to step into the executive spotlight.
“I have the experience, the vision, and the will to serve the people of Kitui at a higher level. This county needs leadership that understands both the grassroots and the national dynamics,” he added during the radio session.
The announcement is expected to shake up the political landscape, especially within the Wiper Party, where several high-profile figures are reportedly eyeing the same seat. Dr. Mulu’s early declaration gives him a strategic advantage as he begins consolidating support across the eight sub-counties of Kitui.
As 2027 draws nearer, all eyes will be on Dr. Makali Mulu’s next moves as he begins laying the groundwork for what is expected to be a heated and closely watched gubernatorial contest.
