Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege announced via Twitter that she would not seek any elective position in the upcoming August elections, citing her commitment to advancing the Azimio la Umoja political agenda. The incumbent representative stated her focus would shift to national-level campaigning rather than pursuing local office.
Speaking publicly in Murang’a County, Chege emphasized her role in promoting the coalition’s platform to ensure its success. 'I have been tasked with selling the Azimio la Umoja agenda to Kenyans,' she said. 'My priority is to secure the faction’s victory by engaging with communities across the country.'
Chege’s decision dispelled speculation she might contest the Murang’a gubernatorial race or the Kigumo parliamentary seat. In her tweet, she wrote: 'Finally the Holy Spirit has spoken, I will not be vying in any elective position in Murang’a County. I will concentrate with National politics in Azimio la Umoja Council. Asanteni wa Murang’a nawapenda sana.'
The Murang’a gubernatorial race now includes former Water PS Wairagu wa Maai, Senator Irungu Kang’ata, pharmacist Moses Mwangi, former Kigumo MP Jamleck Kamau, former Devolution PS Irungu Nyakera, and businessman Michael Gatogo.
