KAJIADO 2027: KATOO RETURNS, ODM COLLAPSES, A NEW TITANIC BATTLE EMERGES:

The Kajiado gubernatorial race is rapidly shaping into a high-stakes showdown between two dominant political forces.

Former gubernatorial candidate and current State House Comptroller Dr. Katoo Ole Metito has stormed back into the race with a commanding 55.9% under the UDA banner, positioning himself as the clear frontrunner after narrowly losing to Governor Ole Lenku in 2022.

Facing him is current Kajiado Senator Samuel Seki, who enters the contest through the DCP ticket with 25.4%, emerging as the main opposition challenger.

Meanwhile, ODM — the party that delivered the governorship in 2022 — appears to have significantly weakened in Kajiado. Its candidate, Martin Moshisho, trails far behind at 2.6%, signaling a major collapse of ODM momentum within the county.

Mizani Africa Insight:
The data suggests Kajiado politics is undergoing a major realignment. Dr. Katoo’s return through UDA appears to have consolidated a broad support coalition, while DCP is emerging as the primary resistance force through Senator Seki.
The race is increasingly shifting away from a multi-candidate contest into a direct UDA vs DCP gubernatorial battle for control of Kajiado County

The government has proposed a Sh3,000 monthly stipend for village elders across the country in a move aimed at formally recognising their role in supporting the National Administration.
Appearing before the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security during scrutiny of the 2026/2027 budget estimates on Wednesday, Dr. Raymond Omollo said the programme would benefit about 110,000 village elders nationwide.

Dr. Omollo told the committee that the Ministry of Interior had already developed a policy framework and criteria for the identification of village elders, following years of consultations and public participation.

“The conversation about village elders began in 2016 and the House actually gave directions to the ministry. It has taken almost 10 years to get us here,” said Dr. Omollo.

He credited the committee for supporting the allocation, saying without its intervention the funds would not have been included in the budget estimates.

Under the proposal, each village elder would receive a Sh3,000 monthly stipend beginning in the next financial year, subject to Parliament approving the policy.
