Race for Nairobi Governor’s seat heating up
The race for the Nairobi Governor’s seat is heating up, with Bishop Margaret Wanjiru now making her intentions clear to vie for the position.
Wanjiru, a prominent political figure and bishop, has been a notable player in Kenyan politics, particularly within the ODM party. She is positioning herself as a candidate for the 2025 Nairobi gubernatorial race, and her announcement has sparked significant interest.
Wanjiru’s candidacy is particularly intriguing because she has remained loyal to ODM, despite the evolving political landscape in Nairobi.
She has long been an ally of the party, and her decision to throw her hat into the ring for governor signals her ambition to shape the future of Nairobi, one of the most politically and economically crucial regions in Kenya.
Wanjiru’s political background, especially her experience as a Member of Parliament for Starehe Constituency, has earned her a solid base of supporters.
She is known for her strong community presence and her outspoken approach to addressing issues like poverty, infrastructure development, and governance, which are key concerns for Nairobi’s residents.
The battle for Nairobi is always fierce, and with her entry into the race, Wanjiru is adding more energy to the contest.
Her candidacy will likely face stiff competition from other heavyweights in Nairobi politics, but her decision to make her intentions known could galvanize support among ODM’s loyalists and possibly other voters who believe in her leadership capabilities.
