“Have Mercy On Me" UDA Governor Pleads For Second Term Amid Gachagua's Growing Wave In Mt Kenya

Susan Kihika has appealed to voters in Nakuru to grant her a second term, citing the need to break the county’s long-standing trend of one-term governors since the introduction of devolution under the Constitution of Kenya 2010.

Speaking at the Farmers Training Centre Soilo, Kihika emphasized that frequent leadership changes have disrupted continuity in development projects. 

She argued that no leader can deliver transformative results instantly, stressing that stability in leadership is key to sustained progress.

Kihika acknowledged that her administration may not have met all expectations but maintained that replacing leaders too quickly often slows development. 

She questioned the logic of constant political shifts, noting that any new leader would also require time to understand systems and implement policies effectively.

She urged residents to avoid repeating past cycles of leadership turnover, warning that such patterns hinder long-term growth. 

As the 2027 General Election approaches, Kihika said she is working to earn public trust and expressed hope that voters will give her another chance to complete her development agenda.
