With competition for a significant position intensifying, sources indicate the outcome remains uncertain. Reports suggest that the PhD graduate from Moi’s renowned Political Studies program might still have unexpected strategies. Recent rumors hint that the individual may be considering a bold move, believing that regaining support in a populous region could demand a calculated risk. A preferred approach might involve bringing back an experienced figure from the area’s established political faction. This seasoned politician, currently serving in a prominent institution, is expected to offer renewed energy, along with connections to two key counties that could influence the balance of power.
A high-ranking minister in one of the most challenging portfolios is said to be growing increasingly dissatisfied with communications staff responsible for public outreach. According to sources, the minister believes his media team has not adequately highlighted his extensive responsibilities. Those close to the minister suggest he feels his contributions in the demanding role are being overlooked. To address this perceived shortcoming, the minister has reportedly taken direct control of his public messaging. Sources indicate he has started personally promoting his work across both social and traditional media platforms, determined to ensure the public recognizes his efforts. However, some colleagues are questioning whether this approach is sustainable, given the portfolio’s reputation for consuming even the most vigorous leaders.
An elected representative is reportedly planning a discreet return to the political alliance he left just months prior. The parliamentarian originally shifted allegiance under pressure to join the faction perceived to control development resources and patronage. However, circumstances have reportedly not unfolded as anticipated. Sources indicate that after joining the new group, the politician discovered he was not the valued addition he had assumed. Two county assembly members from his electorate had already secured positions within the faction’s inner circle, with one now reportedly targeting the MP’s seat in the 2027 elections. Sensing vulnerability, the legislator is said to be contemplating a quiet return to his previous political affiliation. Fortunately, connections to his former group remain intact.
A potential presidential candidate is reportedly taking a comprehensive approach as the contest for the nation’s top leadership gradually takes form. The aspirant initially depended on professional organizations to analyze and forecast his electoral chances. Subsequently, reports documenting his increasing popularity began appearing in political circles. More recently, however, a new strategy appears to be unfolding. Various social media users have begun conducting informal polls asking Kenyans about their voting preferences for 2027. Notably and possibly by design the same candidate consistently emerges as the frontrunner in these surveys. This pattern has drawn attention from experienced political observers, with some viewing it as an intentional effort to mold public opinion well before the official campaign period.
