My Leader Kenya (MLK) is recruiting County, Constituency and Ward Ambassadors to support good-governance activities and engage communities ahead of the 2027 elections. This is an opportunity to get involved at the grassroots, connect with aspiring leaders and contribute to conversations around accountability, integrity and better leadership.
The murder of Dr Victoria Nthunya Mutiso has taken a dramatic political turn after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua accused the DCI of covering up alleged police involvement, only for investigators to claim that Gachagua had communicated with people considered persons of interest. With serving police officers allegedly linked to the killing, questions are mounting: is Gachagua being politically targeted, or does he know more about the murder than he is revealing? The evidence remains inconclusive, leaving one crucial question unanswered — who ordered Dr Mutiso's killing, and why?
The shocking killing of Mt Elgon politician Nathan Wasama has sent ripples through Bungoma’s political landscape, raising questions about insecurity, political rivalry and the safety of aspirants ahead of the 2027 elections. His previous encounter with armed attackers has added another layer of mystery, as investigators now face pressure to uncover who killed him and why.
Gachagua’s proposed 2027 strategy is simple but potentially disruptive: opposition parties should unite behind one presidential candidate while competing independently for other elective seats. The approach could prevent vote splitting at the presidential level while forcing parties to build stronger grassroots structures. But it also raises questions about whether parties can cooperate at the top while competing fiercely on the ground.
