Elijah Moindi, the former Nyaribari Masaba MP, has entered the political arena once again, seeking to reclaim his former seat. At 65, Moindi is focusing on his extensive experience, his past accomplishments in Parliament, and his strong ties to the Seventh-day Adventist Church to mount a comeback ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
He has been actively visiting the community, attending church services, and engaging with voters to rebuild his political network. Moindi has been emphasizing education and infrastructure as his key achievements during his tenure, claiming to have initiated projects that residents continue to benefit from. However, his political comeback has taken a combative turn, with Moindi attacking incumbent MP Dr. Daniel Manduku over stalled road projects.
The former MP accused Manduku of failing to follow up on road projects he initiated while in office, specifically criticizing the Getengererie-Ramasha-Riombaso Junction road, where only about three kilometers were completed before the project was abandoned. Moindi also raised concerns over the Nyanturago-Ekona and Keroka-Ibacho-Kiamokama roads, which he claims have remained in limbo.
With the 2027 elections approaching, Nyaribari Masaba is set to witness a highly competitive race that pits experience against incumbency and youthful ambition. Moindi's return has the potential to inject another layer of tension into the contest, especially since the two politicians share the same clan. The younger generation of politicians, including outgoing Masimba MCA Bouse Mairura and UDA operative Ben Momanyi, are also positioning themselves for the seat, focusing on generational change.
Moindi, however, remains unfazed, emphasizing that leadership is about understanding and solving people's problems rather than being the youngest. He is seeking to leverage his years away from politics to his advantage, positioning himself as an experienced leader who has been observing and listening to the constituency's challenges.
The upcoming election in Nyaribari Masaba is expected to revolve around stalled roads, development promises, education, and generational leadership.
