Kenya Kwanza leaders, including National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and President William Ruto’s aide Farouk Kibet, have renewed their support for former Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha as their preferred candidate for the Trans Nzoia governor seat in the 2027 general election. The endorsement comes amid growing competition within the Kenya Kwanza coalition over who should challenge incumbent Governor George Natembeya, who is seeking re-election.
Nakhumicha has faced competition from other Kenya Kwanza politicians, including Kimilili MP Kakai Bisau and former Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa, who have also expressed interest in the governor's seat. The support from Wetang’ula and Kibet adds to Nakhumicha's growing backing within the Kenya Kwanza establishment.
