Published on June 7, 2020, Florence Mutua, the firebrand women representative of Busia, is making waves in the male-dominated gubernatorial race to succeed Governor Sospeter Ojaamong.
Her supporters affectionately refer to her as 'Mama ni Mmoja,' a testament to her growing popularity.
As the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the country, Mutua's innovative measures stood out, earning her recognition and admiration from her constituents.
According to Herman Manyora, a renowned political analyst and deputy ODM secretary general, Mutua's impressive job at her current position has given her a significant edge in the gubernatorial race.
Manyora, who is also a Linguitics lecturer at the University of Nairobi, predicted, 'Yes, @florence-mutua is running for governor, Busia in 2022. And she's winning.'
Mutua's Twitter activities suggest that she is indeed interested in taking over from Ojaamong, as she frequently thanks Kenyans who endorse her pending candidature.
