Makadara Member of Parliament George Aladwa has turned down former Public Service CS Moses Kuria’s offer to be his running mate in the 2027 Nairobi gubernatorial race.
Speaking on Tuesday, December 2, Aladwa said he will not be anyone’s running mate in the next election.
The ODM lawmaker said he will be running for the Nairobi Governorship under the ODM party in 2027.
“I saw Moses Kuria saying that I will be his deputy. I won’t be anyone’s deputy. I have been the Mayor of Nairobi, and now I am running for Nairobi Governor,” said Aladwa.
This comes after Kuria shared a poster featuring himself and Aladwa, announcing that the ODM MP will be his running mate for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat in 2027.
In a social media post on Sunday, November 30, Kuria noted his bid for the Nairobi governorship alongside Aladwa is because they care for the capital city and what the residents are going through.
The former CS expressed confidence that he and Aladwa have what it takes to transform Nairobi, saying they possess the leadership and managerial experience, as well as the regional and global networks, needed to fix the capital.
“Not because of our tribes. Not because of our parties. Because we care for Nairobi. Because we understand what Nairobians are going through.
“Because we have local, regional and global networks to fix Nairobi. Because we have many years of combined leadership and managerial experience. Because we are not tribal. Because we have what it takes to make Nairobi work again,” said Kuria.
The public service former CS declared his Nairobi gubernatorial bid on Sunday, October 12.
In an update on X, Kuria pledged to transform the capital city into a model of cleanliness and efficiency.
“I have heard your cry. That is why I will offer myself to be the Governor of the great County of Nairobi in 2027. I will fix Nairobi,” Kuria stated.
