Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has hinted at the possibility of running for another elective post after the end of her two terms as the county boss.

Waiguru welcomed calls by residents to consider seeking another leadership role in the county, adding that the people of Kirinyaga will have the final say on which position she should vie for during the 2027 elections.

The governor expressed confidence that she would get the people’s support to vie for any political position because of her development track record.

“I know because of my performance in terms of development you will support my bid for any political seat when time for elections comes. I ask you not to chase me away when I come asking for your support,” Waiguru said.

Waiguru further asked Kenyans to exercise politics of tolerance and restraint, saying Kenya has come far in terms of democracy.

The governor, who was speaking Thursday at Kiaragana in Ndia during the funeral of Tharaka Nithi governor Muthomi Njuki’s father-in-law, Waiguru warned that the country is courting danger by engaging in politics of incitement and violence.

“Where we are heading, we are playing with fire; there are those trying to stop others from speaking just because they are in a different political camp. Let us be tolerant to diverse views because Kenyans are clever enough to decide who they will vote for,” Waiguru warned.

The governor said she has many political options and is keenly listening to the political mood in the country before making a decision.
