Former Civic Leaders Back Dr. Michael Bongei for Bomet Governor
A group of former civic leaders from Bomet County have officially endorsed Dr. Michael Bongei’s gubernatorial bid for 2027, describing him as the fresh, youthful leader the county desperately needs.
Speaking during a consultative forum held, the former leaders expressed deep concern over the state of governance in the county, pointing to widespread corruption, poor service delivery, and lack of transparency. They emphasized that the time had come for Bomet to embrace new leadership grounded in integrity, innovation, and public service.
“Bomet has been plagued by numerous challenges, including mismanagement of resources and unresponsive leadership. Dr. Bongei represents a new era — one of accountability, fresh ideas, and inclusivity,” said one of the leaders.
They urged residents, particularly the youth and women, to support Dr. Bongei in his quest to bring transformative change to the county.
They expressed confidence that under his leadership, Bomet would witness improved governance, equitable development, and restoration of public trust in the county government.
As the 2027 elections approach, this endorsement signals a shift in momentum and sets the stage for what promises to be a dynamic political race in Bomet.
